When to Elope in Northern Norway, Month by Month
On 1 February the sun is above the horizon in Tromsø for a little over five hours. By 28 February it is up for nine and a half. Same city, same fjord, four weeks apart, and a completely different day to plan. That is what makes Northern Norway unlike most places couples write to us…

How to Plan a Norway Elopement: Papers and Roads
The document that decides whether your Norway wedding is legal is called a prøvingsattest, it comes from Skatteetaten in Oslo, and it is valid for four months.
