Pre-Wedding Information for Victoria and Daniel's Wedding

[lilibeth77]

How old are Daniel's nieces?

Ohh, and another question, is Daniel's sister married?

 

[Princess Luna]

How old are Daniel's nieces?

Hedvig is 11 and Vera is 6

I remember when I was watching Silvia Sommerlath's and King Carl Gustav's wedding ceremony from web archives... There was a flower girl and a page boy walking in front of the couple, super slowly, almost too slowly, as I imagine they had been told: "Don't hurry too much!" And at some point the king had to push their back so that they would walk a bit faster. So, yes, there is always a risk that children act in a funny way, but I think children also want to try their best in that kind of situations.

Silvia had a bridesmaid, but I think her only task was to carry the ring to the altar. She was not walking with them.

But I have to say it's quite funny combination if it's true that Victoria has 9,5 meters long train, and no bridesmaids...

 

[Bine221]

I am also concerned regarding her train and no bridesmaids......

Just one example: What will happen, if Victoria leaves the carriage to access the church..... Who will take care, that the dress (seen for the first time then) is placed properly ..... and even more the long train??????

AAAAAAhhhh, can´t wait for that magical moment!

Which time do you think we have to go to Storkyrkan on Saturday to get a good view?

 

[Paty]

The Royal House published the names of the ten flower girls and a page boys: Only three Royal Children, Prince Christian, Princess Ingrid Alexandra and Princess Cathalina Amalia.

But if there is no bridemaid who will help Victoria with her dress and her trail?

According to the Swedish Royal Website:

"The bridal couple will be assisted by attendants and pages during processions on foot in connection with the wedding festivities. Since the 1950s, attendants and pages have been taken on following application for service on special occasions. They are military servicemen from the Navy and Air Force."

"At the royal wedding in 1976, the pages carried Queen Silvia's train as she boarded the Royal Barge 'Vasaorden', when she disembarked at Skeppsbron and during the walk through Logården to the royal apartments at the Royal Palace."

There will be nice pix of the children I presume !

Maybe they decided not to have a bridesmaid because to avoid to give Madeleine too much attention...

 

[Boris]

The original press release in Swedish called Willem-Alexander and Maxima "The CP couple of Belgium"...
...thankfully corrected by now, but without correcting more mistakes:
The name of Danmark's Crown Prince is not "Fredrik", but Frederik...
...and Queen Silvia's favorite niece is not called "Vivi", but Vivien Sommerlath.
Typical examples of the very sloppy work of the incompetent Bernadotte PR department; it seems that no-one ever proof-reads anything.
I suggest to fire Nina Eldh right after the wedding - enough is enough.

Maybe they decided not to have a bridesmaid because to avoid to give Madeleine too much attention...

Nonsensical. Whoever said that Madeleine was even considered to be bridesmaid at any point?

 

[Charlotte_Aster]

It will be the first time all those new generation royals will officially be in the same event right? can't wait for pix.

 

[SwedQueen]

Excellent pick!
This will really highlight this beautiful event.

The king will lead her to her husband to be.
I like this solution a lot.

Official announcement of ten young bridesmaids and page boys:

good choice - 1 future king and 2 future queens
I hope it will be fantastic ceremony

 

[PrincessJenni]

Does anyone know if the Ingmar Thorell's bridal march for Victoria and Daniel will be played in the church entrance or JUST in the gala concert on 18th of June? For some reason I am unsure.
In this article they write in Swedish that Ingmar Thorell's bridal march is played in Stockholm Stadshuset on 18th of June, but I thought it would be also in the church. Any idea?

The bridal march composed by Victoria's former piano teacher Ingmar Thorell to Victoria and Daniel, listen: Ingemar Thorell - Bröllopsmarsch för Victoria & Daniel (Gomorron Väst Onsdag 05 maj 2010 kl 10:11)

I am correct, that the Royal Bride Dress Designer (Per Engsheden ???) will also create the dresses for the bridesmaids and the Page Boys? In this case -- how is this working in practical? Will the 3 royal households get a "questionnaire" about the exact sizes of the royal children and then Per is creating the dresses "by surprise"; Only the day before the wedding the children will jump in the dresses to check whether everything fits perfect?
Just curious....

When all the fuss started about Victoria's wish to have her father escort her I wondered why they just didn't do this. It sure makes sense and satisfies both sides of the (to me rather idiotic) argument.

I don't think we know who is designing the dress.
But presumably whoever is designing the dress has seen the bridesmaids, page boys and flower girls personally and measured them.
They will have been either sent the dress, or had fittings before saturday.

 

[Bine221]

No, the designer of the dress is not (yet) officially confirmed my the court. But SVT "knows for sure" according to 100% reliable sources since yesterday, that it will be Per Engsheden.
Aha
We´ll see

Expressen´s royal reporter Johan T Lindwall met Daniel Westling yesterday, to wish him all the best for Saturday. Daniel said that he is starting to feel some butterflies in his stomach...

Victoria and Daniel had a two-hour training session at Daniel´s gym yesterday. After that they drove in separate cars to Madeleine´s apartment, there was a little party with Madeleine, Carl Philip, Emma Pernald and other friends.
Madeleine will make her first public appearance in a long time today, at a dinner at Götheborg. The entire royal family will be present at the party.
- Now, the focus is still on Madeleine. Although Victoria is about to marry. Court should have used a different media strategy, says Roger Lundgren, a royal expert.

Strange, I doubt that Rosario Nadal will go to the wedding. And I thought that it was confirmed that the prince of wales and wife were not going to the wedding.

I think that is a great choice of flower girls and page boys! I can't wait to see them all together, especially the royal children. Two of the girls are 14 and 15 and definately old enough to help carry the train. How exciting for them all to be taking part in such a historic day!

I can't wait for Saturday!

 

[cd_1]

where can we see video coverage of guests arriving today?
