Seems like this was after the Christening. Now where's the actual ceremony?

So will they upload the whole cerimony or that's it? i want it all!

I don't know if the Archbishop does christenings very regularly. He might not get much practice with babies!

Well, under the photo of Victoria and Daniel on the left, it says that it would be possible to watch the whole ceremony from tonight. Still waiting, though. I hope they don't upload it too late, I guess I could get on with some work and check back later if I can tear myself away from the photos and clips..

Thanks for that link.
It contained a footage from Victoria, Carl-Philip and Madeleine's christenings as well - and I've never seen those before.

I know, so was I but it won't make sense not to upload the christening. It's the part people actually want to watch. And it's still not up.

What a wonderful christening, might just be my favourite royal christening ever. I loved the all the pomp and circumstance and I think that the whole ceremony was very beautiful.

Estelle is such a beautiful little baby, she has won over my heart completely. I loved when she dozed off in her mother's arms after having been christened, but suddenly woke up when the music started playing. I also loved that Daniel carried her into the church, he seems to be absolutely taken with his adorable little girl.

I'm very glad that Danish is somewhat similar to Swedish so that I could understand most of what was being said.

This picture is quite precious, Estelle sees what you're doing there

Swedish lyrics of Vilar glad. I din famn:
Sjön vilar tätt mot stranden.
Himlen oändligt blå.
Jag står med dig i handen.
Mörkret faller. Och du lyser så.

Vinden vill famna skogen.
Havet ger vågen ro.
Vännen vill vara trogen.
Där du vandrar vill min längtan bo.

Det är kärleken som bär
min förtröstan genom livet.
Så jag söker dig, jag ropar överallt ditt namn
tills jag är i din famn; vilar glad i din famn.
Vilar glad. I din famn.

Nära vill jag vara.
Lugn vid din varma själ.
Jag är en barnsång bara.
Den är enkel och menar så väl.

Det är kärleken som bär
min förtröstan genom livet
Så jag söker dig, jag ropar överallt ditt namn
tills jag är i din famn;
Vilar glad. I din famn.


English translation (not literal, paraphrase) - Happy In Your Arms
Beautiful we take to the beach.
The heaven shines blue.
I stand with your hand in mine.
The dark (night) falls. And you shine so.

The wind embraces the forest.
The harbour give the way peace.
The way we will go towards faithfulness
There you wander to my longing...

It is true love that will bear
my faithfulness through our lives.
So I seek you, I call out over all your name
till I am in your arms. I will be happy in your arms.
Be happy. In your arms.

Now will I be
together with your warm soul.
I am like a children's song
You are (simple) and mean so much.

It is true love that will bear
my faithfulness through our lives.
So I seek you, I call out over all your name
till I am in your arms. I will be happy in your arms.
Be happy. In your arms.

There is plenty of information throughout these forums if anyone is serious about understanding the various relationship dynamics of the people we discuss. You just have to want to look to become better informed.

I was merely expressing my opinion that having so many foreign royals as godparents seems 'odd' to me. Heck, having so many godparents is odd to me. I know it's something the Scandinavian royals seem to do all the time, but that doesn't mean I have to think it's a brilliant idea. I'm plenty informed.

I don't see why you feel the need to bite my head off for merely stating my opinion.

None of the women really wowed me clothes-wise. Victoria looked pretty nice, but the shoes weren't great. The most beautiful thing there was the chapel itself. It's quite small but still very imposing.

Sort of like "what the heck is that thing and what are you going to do with it?!?!?!?!?"
