First of all, I want to thank fisherking52001 for the information on Ingrid's
wedding to Dr. Lindstrom in 1937.
Here is a U. S. version:
On Nov. 25, I was reading a Kansas newspaper - The Hutchinson News -
which I had borrowed from a friend. In it, was the following article:
Stockholm, Sweden - A small Swedish town is searching for a bride-to-be
who looks like Ingrid Bergman to re-enact the actress's first wedding in 1937.
The search was initiated by the folklore society in Stode, 235 miles north of
Stockholm, to mark the 70th anniversary of Bergman's wedding to Petter Aron
Lindstrom in the town church. "We're looking for a Swedish look-alike, and it's
going to be a real wedding - there won't be any cheating - and we'll pay for
the wedding dress and dinner," said Gertrud Svensson, a deputy member of
the society. The wedding is planned for summer 2007 and, aside from
featuring a look-alike bride and wedding dress, guests will be invited to dine
on the original porcelain at the wedding party. The groom does not
necessarily have to resemble Lindstrom, who came from Stode.
