It’s the ninth week in Li gård and this year’s “Farmen” attendees are probably starting to feel both homesick and missing loved ones.
For one of the remaining participants, Benjamin Lien (32), it was her husband Frode who was waiting for him at home. The couple got married in 2015, in a magnificent wedding in Dirdal.
– I was beaten
However, the story of Benjamin and Frode began as early as twelve years ago.
– It was just the two of us
It was in 2010 that the love story between Benjamin and Frode began. They met on the dating site Gaysir.
– I commented on some underwater photos he had posted from his dive work. There were beautiful photos. We have sent some messages back and forth. Text messages turned into phone calls and suddenly we spent a weekend together in Bergen as well. Since then it’s just the two of us left.

There was no doubt that the romance blossomed for the couple, because a few years later they got engaged too.
– It was Fraud who proposed. It was amazing. He proposed me in the 2012 Christmas calendar.

– Was there a ring in the Christmas calendar then?
– He knows I’m so picky that he had enclosed a magazine with specially designed rings. I was very happy and surprised. It was fun and there were tears of joy, the 32-year-old admits.
Married in a mountain cave
Five years after their first meeting, they got married. They did it in a mountain cave. The magnificent, and somewhat special, wedding took place at Byrkjedalstunet in Dirdal.
Inside the Gloppehallen mountain cave they also had 80 guests, he says.

Filming for this year’s “Farmen” season was long over and Lien was able to reunite with her husband.
– I think he thought it was right that I traveled to “The Farm”. She knew I wanted him, so she humored me. But I missed him incredibly much, admits the 32-year-old, and continues:
– He says I’m a psycho
– It was wonderful to see him again. He picked me up from the airport, he really surprised me inside the arrivals hall itself. Then at least there were the tears.
Dagbladet has been in contact with Lien’s husband, who is aware that we mention him in the case.
