...this story actually HASN'T been published in my home country Norway! Logically, it should have been printed in the same issues of the Norwegian Donald Duck & Co weekly as the corresponding issues of the Danish and Swedish weeklies (the first three issues of 2015)... but according to Inducks, it wasn't. I wonder what happened there.
The corresponding Norwegian issues (from #1, 2015) was the very first to be published fortnightly in the stores, while every second issues were only available to subscribers – a practice they have continued with until today.
The result was that they couldn't do serials over several issues any more. Two-part stories already produced got printed in a single issue in Norway, sometimes with a new panel/half-page created to make in a 1-part story (ex. A Golden Partnership and Runaway Ducklings). While in most other counries they got printed as a serial. But I guess it was a bit much to give the 3-part "Scrooge's Wedding" the same treatment and printing it in one single issue.
But it would be great if they would print it as an attachment issue, or in one of the extended summer issues or maybe in Klassisk Donald Duck instead of just doing reprints in that series.
It had already been printed in Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Germany and Finland

Wow! That's almost a scandal!!! Norway has very few Disney creators, and the story's artist, Jan Gulbransson, is a famous Disney Comics artist, who is HALF NORWEGIAN!!! After Arild Midthun, Jan should be their most hyped and revered Disney Comics creator. Not only should they have printed our story, but Norway, out of the three Scandinavian countries (plus Iceland), should have been the country most likely to print it all in one special book (as we did at Sanoma), complete with a special cover (drawn by Jan)!
Please send me your E-mail address, in a private message on this forum, and I'll send you scans of the Danish printing's pages, so you can read the story soon.

They definitely should do that, given that Jan is one of their own, and his grandfather was also a famous Norwegian artist (born and raised on the eastern end of Oslo Fjord).
