The dancing is temporarily suspended because it was now time to toast the happy couple. The best man sits down and fills the glasses with brandy, wine and other kinds of beverages, as the music slowly begins to wind down. People then pair up, one man and one woman and head over to the table for a glass. The man utters his toast and proceeds to clink glasses with their partner, they drink, put their glasses down and both leave some money meant for the musicians.

The various toasts that are uttered are primarily in honor of the newlywed, their parents and everyone in attendance. when they were all done the dancing would quickly commence. However, by now the bride had changed out of her traditional wedding gown and into a more simple dress. She was on the dance floor, dancing with all of the women. Dancing her way into womanhood. It was now past midnight and people were starting to head home. However, before leaving they were all offered a snack which consisted of leftovers like fish in mustard, bread and much more. The next day they gathered once more for lunch which was porridge left over from the day before and which this time had been reheated and mixed with beer. There was also fish along with an assortment of many other dishes. It was very much like the previous nights feast except no one was toasting. Sometimes, the immediate family was even invited to partake in a third day of celebrating.

Qvindestue

It wasn't unusual that a short while after the wedding, the young couple would be expecting an addition to their family. When something like this happened it was customary to hold what was referred to as "Qvindestue" (which meant that the father would go around to family and friends, informing them that they had gotten a baby. He would then invite them to join them for "Qvindestue" on that very day. However, the invite only extended for the parents of the various households. On said day, 10-20 families showed up, each of them bringing a large jar filled with sweet soup and some pancakes. They would all proceed to enjoy a happy day and night, socializing, playing cards and the likes. However, each woman would also bring on crown and placed it in the crib. They would then tell the mother that the money was to be spent on a book for the little one. 

At the time when a young mother was sowing the first outfit for their newborn, they would also sow their own funeral shroud which would be put away for safekeeping until she passed away.
