Prince Joachim and Marie Cavallier Current Events 4: October 2007 - May 2008

[lyndaW]

I (personally) think that Marie is to marry a Prince of Denmark the wedding certainly must be in Denmark. However, after the honeymoon if her family wish they could have an elborate reception in France for the couple and invite who ever and how many guests they wish (as long as Marie's parents pay for this reception).

[lyndaW]

Does anyone have any hint of what kind of wedding its going to be and who their attendants will be.................gee, personally I want all the famous Danish dash and sparkles filled with tiaras and lots of Royals all in beautiful gowns.......but its not up to me..........darn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[magnik]

I'm on the semi - private wedding.
But on the other hand thinking that will be her first wedding I think that she wont to show everyone in white gown and tiara... no matter if the guests will be celebs or royals...

[Hanna Regina]

It would be rather unfair on Marie's part if they can't have at big wedding because of Joachim's previous marriage. If they want something smaller, they can have a fancy tiara wedding, but not invite too many guests. When it comes to other royals, they could invite only those they are close to or perhaps the younger generation. There are quite many royals of similar age as Joachim and Marie, in their thirties, and with children. If they were to bring their kids, that would make the cermony less formal and more intimate. And, ofcourse, that would meen playmates for Nikolai and Felix! Imagine them running around with Christian, Ingrid Alexandra, Sverre Magnus, Elisabeth, Gabriel, pss Alexia's kids and the other Greek children and so on!

I didn't mean to speculate this much.. I only hope they get the kind of wedding they want, and don't have to adjust their wishes because of other people's opinions of what's proper in this situation.

Marie sounded at the press conference like she wanted as small a wedding as possible, but acknowledged that a truly private one wouldn't be possible.

Marie hasn't been to Denmark lately!Or we haven't seen pictures of her lately!

[isabelle 53]

I am new and my english is bad, sorry...
I would like to know what the Danish think of Marie (since video scandal)...
What are their feelings? Is she appreciated or not?

[Martha]

Sorry, is there a video scandal about Marie?

[GlitteringTiaras]

Allegedly there is an inappropriate video of Marie and her ex-boyfriend made many years ago.

There is no solid evidence to back up the ex-boyfriends claim. Moreover, the issue has died down and so far no one in the Danish or French press has a desire to look further into it.

Essentially, it is a non-issue that isn't worth discussing.

[biboquinhas]

Where is Marie now?She hasn't been around since engagement! Strange!Maybe she will appear a new Marie, new hair, new clothes, new body!

[GlitteringTiaras]

Nobody knows where she is or what she is doing.

It has been confirmed that she quit her job at REInvest, so perhaps she's preparing for her new role in life -- as a Princess -- as well as preparing for her upcoming wedding.

it's quite normal that we don't see her much. we didn't see mary much in her engagement period and she was going to be the crown princess: in just 7 official acts in fact. if we don't see marie much, it's just what's expected. don't worry: we will have lots of opportunities to see her as soon as she becomes princess.

on the topic about marie changing, i doubt we will see a new marie (or new body!). she might change clothes or style, just as it happened for mary, so we already have experience in this area and can expect something similar happening to marie.

[biboquinhas]

Has they have lot of pressure and stress they become very thin just before the wedding so it is quite normal that she losses some weight before the wedding

[biboquinhas]

So we will see a new Marie! Maybe not a new body but yes a new Marie! I just cannot understand why she doesn't appear. Doesn't she go out anymore? Doesn't she visit Prince Joaquim anymore in Denmark? Doesn't she travel anymore form Switzerland to Denmark? Why people should change so mucht just because they became Princess? They should change their mentality, they should change their way to see the world, they should try to help make their country a better country but not change so mucht the way the were before becoming a Princess.

Just have a look into this thread, biboquinhas:
Danish Royal Family Current Events 4: May 2007 - February 2008
Se og Hør just published pictures of the Crown Princely couple and Joachim& Marie.
According to them they spent the weekend together at Schackenborg castle.

[Empress]

Well biboquinhas, since she will shortly be leaving all that she knows, and her home and her job, and all of the things that go along with it, she is probably spending the time taking care of the thigns that go along with that. Say, selling a house/car, packing, finishing up things for work before she leaves, saying goodbye to colleagues and friends..

Oh, right, and she has a wedding to plan.

So I imagine that her days are rather full, and she does not have time to go running about just to give the phtographers food for fodder.

[UserDane]

The wedding date has been set now for Joachim and Marie - May 24 TV 2 Kongelig - Joachim og Marie giftes 24. maj

According to this link, they will be married by Bishop Erik Normann Svendsen and there will be private celebrations afterwards on Schackenborg Castle.

This is also the wedding date of Joachim's maternal grandparents, King Frederik IX and Queen Ingrid

I found this new in Billed-Bladet magazine.
Can some one tell us what it say?
