As I stood with my sweetheart watching a ring of folk dancers on the island of Seurasaari on Midsummer’s Day, one leapt out of the circle and grabbed my hand, pulling me into the middle. In my red sweater, I matched their colorful costumes. He lifted me up and spun me around at the heart of the ring. Excited, I hoped the Finn was watching and would be proud of me.
That evening, as the all-night bonfire was lit, I picked some wildflowers on the island and kept them with me as a memento. When we returned to the apartment, I put them inside one of his desk drawers as a keepsake.
Two years later, when we were engaged, he opened that drawer and saw the flowers. I prompted, “What is that?” He answered, “Oh, it’s just some weeds!” And threw them in the garbage can.
Then I knew that the longest day of the summer was the longest day of my romance.

Hello.
I am glad that you presented some our national costumes. Once in a year it our habit to air them and present them to others. Check these – first shows Mikkeli and the second Oulu:
