Grete followed in the footsteps of her father, Jakob Tostrup Prytz, and became a goldsmith. During World War II Grete and her sister fled to Sweden where Grete worked in an architectural firm in Stockholm. There she met Arne again, and the couple ended up getting married during a lunch break.
Because when we called the registrar's office one morning and asked how we could get married, they said the most convenient would be if we could "come straight away!" During our lunch break on the same day, 30 April 30 1945, we cycled from our office to the registrar – and back to unsuspecting colleagues afterwards.
