WeddingDates team in Wife Carrying World Championships!
The epic journey over – 7 countries in 7 days, we finally reached Finland and managed to pick Ruaidhri up a wife on a night out in Helsinki!!
You have no idea how happy and excited all 4 of us were when we arrived in Sonkajarvi in Finland after travelling across Europe to get there! Of course the local Finnish were super welcoming as always, special thanks to Anna Huttunen and Laura and Outi our “minders”.
We competed in every race we could, the Sprint on the Friday evening and then the Team Event/Relay on the Saturday morning and were delighted we came in 3rd place! In the main event, James and I defended our title from last year, taking home “Most Entertaining Couple” again. Ruaidhri and his Finnish “wife” Annuka did great aswell and we all had a blast.
The video will tell more of the hilarity than I ever could here, so watch on….
