Zetterberg’s Strange Wedding Pics

July 23rd, 2010 –Adam Steevens

Red Wings forward Henrik Zetterberg married Swedish model and TV host Emma Andersson this week, but the real story coming out of this wedding is the off-the-wall dress code:

“So why’s everyone wearing a prison-striped onesie? First and foremost, Molle’s a southern Swedish town overlooking the Baltic Sea, and as a resort town (and Emma Andersson’s hometown…with the pre-wedding dinner taking place at a restaurant just a short walk from her home), and it’s apparently known for the fact that its “baths” were public and open to both men and women as early as the late 19th century.

And at once guests were ordered to go to their hotel rooms–to change.

They all had the same clothes, the old classic striped swimsuit and white robes.

Then the 120 guests were bused to the venue of the first Swedish communal baths, Ransvik, and everyone laughed out loud at the uniform dress code.

“It’s wonderful to be here and I look forward to the wedding,” said Pavel Datsyuk, Zata’s teammate on the Detroit Red Wings.

“Feels fantastic”

Then the guests mingled and ate hors d’oeuvres, and the couple arrived to the rocky beach in a rowboat. Even then several friends and relatives were bathing.

“It feels great to get going. And everyone looks so nice in their swimsuits,” says Emma.

Many of the guests have access to the couple via the hockey rink.

Besides “Zata’s” Russian teammate, Pavel Datsyuk, he also invited Finn Valtteri Filppula and all the Swedes on the Detroit Red Wings.

Even Jonathan “Jonte” Hedstrom, a friend of “Zata” since they played together on Timra, and Mikael Samuelsson, a former Detroit player, are there.

“All weddings are fun but this is going to be extremely exciting with all the hockey players here,” said Mikael Samuelsson.

Last night the celebration continued at the Grand Hotel with a barbecue and live bands.

Today, the couple will be married in a church in Brunnby.

“Now bang it [let's get started]!” said Emma Andersson.

You might want to note in the group photo that some of the attendees are wearing fake moustaches, fake Coke bottle glasses and vintage-1900 hats. It’s a big gag on tradition, and Hank and Emma obviously sprung it on the wedding guests. A very knowing joke.” {MLive}
