– We immediately got in good contact, and started sending messages to each other. Then there was some dating, and before we knew it, it was done. We fell madly in love! the couple smiles today.
Productive
However, it took seven long years before the turtle doves found out it was time to get married.
– We have had four children – in less than four years. It takes its toll! All the children are girls, two of them are twins. In addition, I already have two adult daughters, says Siv.
– I have a family with six girls, and it’s great! grins Tor Espen.
When they first got married, they chose to do it in an untraditional way. Without anyone knowing about it, the farmer couple appeared at the agricultural fair “Agroteknikk” in Lillestrøm, where they were married on the main stage, with a fair audience as spectators.
The atmosphere was great when they gave each other their yes, with “priest” in a dressy overall from Felleskjøpet!
– It was a great moment, and a festive event, the newlyweds beam after the touching wedding.

Concentrates
It was buttery Kjell Morten Bråten from “Kjærlighetsvigslerne” who dedicated the turtle doves.
– Afterwards, we toasted with champagne. That is, white wine with concentrate in! laughs the newlyweds to great cheerfulness.
– Which qualities do you value most in each other?
– Reed is a raw skin to keep order in the family, and on everything else. She is the core of the family, says Tor Espen.

Siv nods, and has the following to say about her best friend:
– Tor Espen is absolutely fantastic to live with. He stands up for everything and everyone, and is a kind and caring man… and not least a very good dad, she says about her soulmate.
