The road to romance
Source: Scania
OREANDA-NEWS. Robert and Ann-Kristin from Norway are passionate about each other – and passionate about Scania; so much so that they decided to get married at the Scania Visitor Centre in Södertalje, Sweden.
Some might say Rome or Paris is the most romantic place for a wedding. But neither of those cities was ever an option for Robert Steen and Ann-Kristin Tveterhagen when it came to planning their wedding venue. It was Scania that brought them together, so getting married in the museum at Scania’s visitor centre, located at Scania’s headquarters in Södertalje, was the logical choice.
«It was fantastic,» Robert said afterwards. «It was a combination of the things that matter the most to Ann-Kristin and me: the two of us, and Scania.»
Robert more or less grew up with Scania, you could almost say in a Scania. In 1972 his father bought a Scania 110 truck and started a small transport company hauling timber in the region of Trøndelag in middle of Norway.»Getting married at Scania started as a crazy idea,» he continued. «I asked Ann-Kristin if we should ask if we could get married at Scania. So we contacted Scania’s headquarters in Norway, who, in turn, contacted Scania in Sweden.»
«Instead of attending daycare like most other children, I spent my childhood days in the passenger seat next to my father,» he says.
A special wedding cake
Down the years, Robert’s interest in trucks, and especially in Scania, has continued. After his engineering studies he spent 14 years in the vehicle bodybuilding business. But he had always dreamed of a job at Scania, and fulfilled his goal in 2012. Today he is service manager within Scania Norway, heading the operations at Scania’s workshop in Trondheim.
At a Christmas party in Scania’s Norwegian headquarters in 2014 another dream of his came true, when he met a life companion as passionate about Scania as he is: Ann-Kristin, who at that time was working as a temp at Scania in Oslo. And as it happened, she also had the same background, with a father who drove Scania.
