There are heat pads, a Japanese product,available which one can stick to one's undergarments and the heat can last for over 10 hours. I learn from magazines that actresses who go on location in very cold countries use them all the time.

From their appearances in public , Mary and Alexandra didn't seem to be friendly. There didn't seem to be any rapport as compared with Princess Diana and Fergie.As a matter of fact, I think they appeared to be cold to each other.

I agree the hair was a bit high. The dress fabric looked heavy, not light. She was beautiful, and M really does resemble J!

Congratulates to Alexandra and Martin I wish them happiness and that their marriage will last as long as they live.The boys looked cute to me, Alexandra looked beautiful and Martin looked handsome.

I've split some posts out of this thread and moved them to Alexandra and Martin's current events thread here. Discussion about Alexandra's jewels and tiara should take place here.

I've deleted the off-topic discussion about social class.

Please let's keep this thread on topic from now on.

I thought Alexandra looked beautiful and truly, it is her right(and any bride's right for that matter) to wear whatever she wants. Personally, I don't believe in the whole white dress=virgin thing, I mean, let's face it anyone can wear a white dress on their wedding day! I will say that I was uncomfortable with her wearing a veil. It seemed a bit much and a little silly more due to her age than anything else. I realize that last statement was ageist but as a woman who is nearly her age the veil startled me and put me off a bit.

She looked beautiful.....and alot like Catherine Zeta-Jones when she married Micheal Douglas. That was my first thought! If I had the capabilities, I'd do a side by side.

I think her make-up made her look much more asian than she use to. Over the last ten years she has adopted a more nordic look with light make-up and not so overstyled hair. But at the wedding it was easy to see her Chinese origin...

Seemed like a nice wedding. Even the boys looked very happy. Lovely.

evnovoros · #**252** 03-05-2007, 05:58 AM

I think this dress is too much for second marriage. And a veil...????

marlene · #**253** 03-05-2007, 07:57 AM

Have there been any photos of the guests that attended the wedding?

I agree. Perhaps this is just another way of expressed her independence and herself as an individual.

I've read a few posts about her relationship -- or lack thereof -- with Mary. Needless to say, I have no personal knowledge of this ... but, there was really never any warmth between them. Do you think that, perhaps, when Alex realized that Mary would be the star of the show -- simply because she married the Crown Prince -- that it was time to exit the center stage? I've always like Alex ... but, her look this weekend, that gown and veil ... it was just so "unlike" her (as far as I have any crediblity to say that) ... does anyone else think she just needs a center stage?

I read a comment on one of the many posts that, perhaps, this would last only five years. While I certainly hope it lasts a lifetime ... I'm not all that convinced.

I have no personal skin in this game ... but, I just am left feeling very unsettled after seeing Alex and her representation of herself this weekend.

My thought is Alexandra looked fantastic, and if I was the one marrying a hot-looking rich younger guy I would dress exactly like she did!

Hello Magazine article about the wedding

It mentions that the designer of her wedding dress was Danish designer Henrik Hviid, whom I've never heard of. Did he ever do anything else for Alexandra? (He has never done any royal wedding dresses before, Mary's dress was by Uffe Frank, and all the others of memory were done by Jorgen Bender)

**Elspeth** · #**257** 03-05-2007, 01:21 PM

If this thread doesn't stay on topic, we're going to close it. It isn't about Mabel and Mette Marit, it isn't even about Martin's social class and bank balance. It's about Saturday's wedding.

He's done several of her dresses prior to this - and Nikolai and Felix's christening gown.

Henrik Hviid has designed many things for Alexandra - among others the pink dress she wore at the wedding of Frederik and Mary. According to the book about Mary's style from fall last year he has also done some dresses for her but I'm not sure about which ones... His style is very feminin with pearls and embroidery.

It was also Henrik Hviid who designed the christening robe worn by Nikolaj and Felix using some laces from Tønder - the city near Schackenborg. As all the royal danish children has been christened in the old robe from Queen Louisa's time (end of the 19. cent.) it was a shock for the public that Joachim and Alexandra had their children christened in a modern robe without any connection to the danish royal family...
