Svein helge and I have known each other for a long time now. Long enough for
having caused confusion when calling on the family landline and asking for
Hanken, that he often goes by. 

Now, despite my father being a cigar smoker..  it was actually Hanken that
introduced me to the relaxing atmosphere cigars can bring.

That said, even though Hanken is a long term strategist I do not believe he
intentionally set me up for taking the interest to the current levels levels
so I'd end up providing the cigar bar for this wedding.

Despite him not owning a crystal ball; Hanken has always been hardworking, trustworthy and kind.

Anne I have known for a shorter
time, but what I've gotten to know and the joy she brings hanken truly makes
me happy,

And despite the words of Rudyard Kipling in my favorite poem, The Betrothed, when asked
to choose between his fiancee and his cigars; " And a woman is only a woman,
but a good cigar is a Smoke.", I'm sure Hanken and Anne know what they are
going into with open eyes and can provide joy for eachother also going
forwards.

 I wish them both the very best ... 

... salute
