I think it would be somewhat weird for a big celebration for Frederik's birthday just 2 days after a royal wedding. I'm thinking that is too much spotlight shifting between siblings. |
Well, Marie mentioned in the engagement press conference that she really wanted a fairly private wedding, and they're most likely not planning a huge celebration for the wedding (probably televised from the church, but private party afterwards.)
The two events: Frederik possibly having a party for his birthday and Joachim's wedding aren't mutually exclusive. Given the time it took Joachim and Marie to settle on a date for the wedding, I assume they've already been over things like that with everyone in the families. Just an assumption, though.
