Pictured: Sandi Toksvig officiates at wedding of Abba’s Bjorn Ulvaeus

Abba’s Björn Ulvaeus got married for a third time on Saturday, with the ceremony officiated by the former Great British Bake Off presenter Sandi Toksvig.

The Dancing Queen singer, 79, tied the knot with his Danish girlfriend Christina Sas, 51, in Copenhagen in a small ceremony in front of family and friends.

Ulvaeus was pictured smiling in a sleek grey suit and T-shirt as he held on tightly to his bride, who wore a khaki-coloured dress.

Toksvig was dressed in a clerical-style, gold-embroidered red cloak as she spoke into a headset microphone in front of the bride and groom.

The designer Søren Le Schmidt, who is known for dressing Danish royalty, provided clothing for the wedding.

The Danish-British presenter has been friends with Ulvaeus since they collaborated on the theatrical show Mamma Mia! The Party in 2018.

Toksvig’s role in the wedding, along with those of the Danish singers Anne Linnet and Kaya Brüel, made the evening “extra special”, read a post on the Abba star’s social media.

The newlyweds met in Nuremberg, Germany in 2021, during the release of Abba’s final album Voyage, when Ms Sas was working for the band’s record label, Universal Music Group.

They announced that they were a couple in June 2022 at the premiere of Ulvaeus’s musical Pippi at the Circus.

“We have dated for a while and I felt like I wanted to take her to this event. So this is the first time we go out together,” the singer said at the time.

Four months previously, Ulvaeus announced he had split from his second wife of 41 years, Lena Kallersjo. The couple share two daughters, Emma, 42, and Anna, 38, and agreed to split their £100 million in assets equally.

From 1971 to 1979, Ulvaeus was married to his bandmate and first wife Agnetha Faltskog. They had two children Linda, now 51, and Peter, 46.
