Swedish Town Searches for Ingrid Bergman Look-a-Like to Re-Enact Actress' Wedding
STOCKHOLM, Sweden (AP) — A small Swedish town is searching for a bride-to-be who looks like Ingrid Bergman to re-enact the actress' wedding in 1937.
The search was initiated by the folklore society in Stode, 235 miles north of Stockholm, to mark the 70th anniversary of Bergman's wedding to Petter Aron Lindstrom in the town church.
"We're looking for a Swedish look-alike, and it's going to be a real wedding — there won't be any cheating — and we'll pay for the wedding dress and dinner," said Gertrud Svensson, a deputy member of the society.
The wedding is planned for summer 2007 and, aside from featuring a look-alike bride and wedding dress, guests will be invited to dine on the original porcelain at the wedding party. The groom does not necessarily have to resemble Lindstrom, who came from Stode.
So far, the guest-list includes the daughter of Bergman and Lindstrom, Pia Lindstrom, as well as other family members living in Stode.
Bergman won three Academy Awards. Her films include "Casablanca," "Notorious," and "Anastasia."

Ingrid Bergman Song
Ingrid Bergman, Ingrid Bergman,
Let's go make a picture
On the island of Stromboli,
Ingrid Bergman
Ingrid Bergman, you're so pretty,
You'd make any mountain quiver
You'd make fire fly from the crater,
Ingrid Bergman
This old mountain it's been waiting
All its life for you to work it
For your hand to touch its hardrock,
Ingrid Bergman, Ingrid Bergman
If you'll walk across my camera,
I will flash the world your story,
I will pay you more than money,
Ingrid Bergman
Not by pennies dimes nor quarters,
But with happy sons and daughters,
And they'll sing around Stromboli,
Ingrid Bergman
This old mountain it's been waiting
All its life for you to work it
For your hand to touch its hardrock,
Ingrid Bergman, Ingrid Bergman

Hybrid tea rose. Only a very special rose could honour Ingrid Bergman, and being a red rose, it had to excel. It is most fitting that this rose was raised in Scandinavia by the rose breeding firm of Poulsens Roses which has a century of traditions and experience. "Poulsen" roses are famous for their vigour and general toughness and Ingrid Bergman is no exception. 35 broad and firm petals make up the large, glowing, velvet red blooms which hold their brilliancy in the sun as no other crimson hybrid tea does.
The bushes grow into well branched specimen plants clothed with glossy, deep green leaves which remain untouched by mildew or black spot. New, bronze red shoots appear until deep into Winter, producing their shapely blooms in an abundance comparable to a grandiflora rose.
