Sandi Toksvig's wedding blunder at Bjorn's Copenhagen ceremony
- Sandi Toksvig officiated Bjorn Ulvaeus's wedding in Copenhagen, mixing up her languages during the ceremony.
- Her humorous mistake involved saying a Danish phrase instead of a reassuring Swedish one, which the couple found amusing.
- Despite the gaffe, Sandi enjoyed the wedding and shared her experience during her book tour, highlighting her friendship with Bjorn.
In Copenhagen, on September 21, Sandi Toksvig officiated the wedding of ABBA star Bjorn Ulvaeus, but her attempt to speak in Danish, Swedish, and English led to an embarrassing mix-up. Instead of conveying a reassuring phrase in Swedish, she mistakenly said a Danish expression meaning 'There is no cow on the ice.' This humorous blunder was well-received by the newlyweds, Bjorn and Christina, who appreciated the light-heartedness of the situation. Sandi, who has a close friendship with Bjorn stemming from their collaboration on 'Mamma Mia: The Party!' in 2018, shared this anecdote during her book tour at The Brighton Dome, a venue historically significant for ABBA. Despite her error, Sandi expressed her enjoyment of the wedding and her fondness for Copenhagen, where she often visits with her wife, Debbie, for some privacy away from public attention. Bjorn's recent marriage to Christina follows his split from his second wife, Lena Kallersjo, with whom he shares two daughters. This wedding marks a new chapter in Bjorn's life, as he continues to navigate personal changes while celebrating love and friendship.
