Q + A
Is Sweden the super rich country with the knives?
No, you're thinking of Switzerland.
Sweden is a Northern European country. It is better than Switzerland.
Will there be booze?
Yes, there will be booze.
Sober friends, I will introduce y'all so you have a buddy to save you from drunk people talking your ear off.
Will there be a priest?
No, there will not be a priest.
Are there Swedish customs I should know about?
Yes. Swedish people are non-confrontational and don't talk to strangers. They're not snobby; they simply don't like risking a potentially awkward situation.
Will it be cold?
August in Sweden shouldn't be too cold, but don't forget your jacket.
Do I need to learn Swedish?
No. The Swedes won't even let you try.
Can I bring my kids?
Hell no.
Aren't you already married?
Yes. On August 13, 2024, we were legally married.
What is wrong with Americans?
We just really, really want Greenland.
Why don't you have a registry?
We're middle-aged—we have everything we need! If you have a burning desire to spend, please donate! There are so many animals and people who need your help.
