    BESS LAWRENCE & MATHIAS IRGENS

    July 6, 2013 in Boston, Massachusetts

    The paths of Bess and Mathias crossed and love first sparked on the evening of Jelena's (the Maid of Honor) birthday party in Zagreb, Croatia. Arriving at the front door to ring their hostess at exactly the same time, introductions were made and the rest is history.

    The next three years were spent living in Zagreb, Croatia as Mathias finished up his medical degree at the University and Bess continued teaching at the International School. All in all, they each spent a total of six years in Croatia and managed not only to fall in love with one another, but also with the country, it's coast and many wonderful people. Croatia will always hold a special place in their hearts.

    “IT WAS LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT” BESS LAWRENCE

    The couple packed up their belongings and headed to Oslo in the summer of 2010 once Mathias had wrapped up his studies in Zagreb. As he prepared to begin his medical internship in Norway, Bess was faced with the challenge of settling into a new life in another new country.

    These days, Bess continues her career in teaching elementary school at Oslo International School and Mathias is completing his Surgical Residency.

    They've enjoyed exploring the many wonders of Norway together-skiing, hunting, fishing, hiking, climbing and are looking forward to what their future has to bring in the land of Northern lights, majestic fjords and midnight sun.
