This year's theme at the Book Fair is "love and desire", and the fair is now seeking five couples who want to confirm their love in a ceremony on the exhibition floor, with Björn Ranelid as the officiant.

"When I marry couples, all wars cease and peace reigns where we stand in the light of love's incredible radiance. All couples I marry get a place of honor in my heart", says Ranelid in a press release.

This is the second time Björn Ranelid marries couples at the Book Fair, he did it also in 2017.

This year's fair takes place on September 25-28.
