Summer traditionally brings weddings. This summer, for example, the wedding of presenter-actor Janni Huss and entrepreneur Joel Harkimo has already been admired.
In this article, we present the gems of our archives from the weddings of the most famous public figures in Finland. The common sky of some of them has already ended for one reason or another. A few of them have been separated by death. Some of them continue their journey even today, inseparable.
Take a look at the photos to see what kind of sparkling celebrity brides – and of course also handsome grooms – have been featured in Iltalehti over the years!
