Young Royals: Where and How Should They Marry?

[Cissan]

One thing I'm wondering is if they will follow the Swedish tradition that is that the couple exchanges engagement rings and that only the woman gets a wedding ring. And in Sweden the engagement rings are just plain without stones and the wedding ring has some stones. (We do it the opposite way to the rest of the world).

most Swedish couples therefore choose the engagement rings together which means that they will go to a jeweller together.

How was it in the case of Victoria´s parents?

[Cissan]

Interesting. I'm not sure.... In that case on of the parties (Silvia) was not Swedish, so it's possible they did it in another way... But both Victoria and Daniel is Swedish so... hmmm... I will look into that.

En härlig folkfest väntar när kronprinsessan Victoria gifter sig med Daniel Westling.
Alla Europas kungahus bjuds in till de pampiga festligheterna som pågår under flera dagar.
Aftonbladets Daniel Nyhlén har kartlagt hur Victoria och Daniels bröllop kan komma att bli.
Tiden
Att Victoria vill gifta sig med Daniel är ingen hemlighet. Men när är svårare att säga. När Aftonbladet i veckan talade med kronprinsessan förklarade hon att det inte kommer att ske till sommaren.
–?Det stämmer inte. När är inte bestämt än, sa hon.
Det mesta tyder däremot på att vigseln kommer att äga rum under sommaren – Victorias favoritårstid – då hon också har sin födelsedag.

Kyrkan
Storkyrkan i Gamla stan i Stockholm, där kungen och Silvia gifte sig, är den hetaste kandidaten. Men det finns alternativ.
– Slottskyrkan kan nog också vara aktuell, säger domkyrkoklockare Hans Carlo, ansvarig för bokningar i Domkyrkoförsamlingen.

Kyssen
Efter att Victoria och Daniel har sagt ja kysser de varandra inför tv-kamerorna. Dessförinnan har kungen eskorterat fram Victoria genom altargången. Vigselförrättare blir ärkebiskopen som heter K G Hammar.

Nationella yran
Innan bröllopet äger en flera veckor lång folkfest rum i hela landet. Jubileumstallrikar, mynt, chokladaskar, flaggor och vykort med brudparets bild säljs över hela landet.
Efter vigseln kommer Victoria och Daniel att vinka till tusentals människor som kantar den traditionella kortegevägen genom centrala Stockholm. Färden sker med häst och vagn och eskorteras av det beridna livgardet.

Tv-sändningen
Både SVT och TV?4 rensar sina tablåer och sänder direkt under hela dagen. Det blir expertkommentarer, dokumentärer och direktrapportering från bröllopsfesten under kvällen.
Miljontals människor runt om i världen kommer att följa bröllopet i tv. Flera tusen journalister från hela världen kommer också att arbeta i Stockholm för att bevaka bröllopet.
När kungen och Silvia gifte sig 19 juni 1976 såg 500 miljoner människor tv-sändningarna från vigseln.

Festen
Den stora bröllopsfesten med tårta, tal och dans hålls på Stockholms slott. Någon dag innan anordnas antagligen en exklusiv mottagning för speciella vip-gäster och kungligheterna på Drottningholms slott. Det är också möjligt att det blir en tv-sänd artistgala i samband med vigseln.
Efter kungaparets bröllop var det en stor show på Operan där bland andra Alice Babs uppträdde.

Gästerna
Familjerna förstås, vänner och trotjänare inom hovet. Alla Europas kungahus kommer att vara representerade. Hedersgäster blir de nordiska kungligheterna som placeras längst fram. Statsministern och företrädare ur regeringen får självklart platser i kyrkan.

Möhippan och svensexan
Victoria kommer att överraskas och kidnappas av sina väninnor för en helfestlig kväll och natt i Stockholm. Daniel Westling slipper heller inte undan. Hans vänner fixar ett lika vilt som kul party för honom.
Vem vet? Babsan kanske klär ut honom i dragshowutstyrsel? Lars-Åke Wilhelmsson var nämligen med och skojade under Carl-Philips studentskiva för några år sedan.

Bröllopsklänningen
Om Victoria gör som sin mamma 1976 väljer hon en benvit klänning från modehuset Dior, ett diadem med kaméer och en brudbukett av vita orkidéer. Stylisten Lars-Fredrik Svedberg tycker att kronprinsessan skulle passa i en klänning som Alber Elbaz designat, gärna i benvitt.
– Victoria måste också tänka på skorna för hon har en tendens att ha alldeles för låga klackar. Lite högre framhäver hennes ben på ett snyggare sätt, säger han.

Säkerhetspådraget
Tusentals poliser kommer att bevaka kortegevägen i centrala Stockholm. Säpo kommer att arbeta intensivt i flera månader för att förbereda vigseln och alla celebra gäster som anländer till Stockholm.
Stockholms city blir ett hårdbevakat område med bland annat prickskyttar på taken.

Tärnorna
Victoria var själv tärna under väninnan Caroline Dinkelspiels bröllop i juni 2003. Andra tänkbara tärnor är nära kompisarna Josephine Genetay och Caroline Kreuger.

Best man
Daniel Westling kommer antingen ha sin kompanjon Benny Johansson som best man. Andra alternativ är kompisen och programledaren Martin Björk eller parets vän Niclas Engsäll.

Such a stereotypical sheet by Nyhlén - this must really be one of the worst texts he has ever written!

Just a clarification:

Storkyrkan = the Cathedral of Stockholm, the seat of the Bishop of Stockholm, and traditionally were all the big royal weddings take place.

Slottskyrkan = the Palace Church of the Royal Palace of Stockholm, the seat of the Royal Court Parish, where many weddings within the Royal Family has been held (smaller ones though, the church is not very big).

[Larzen]

I would be beyond suprised if Victoria chose a dress by Dior, I just do not see that happen (Does Victoria even know about Dior??), and why would she want to copy her mothers wedding look?? (Which I was disappointed by BTW, Only Silvas beauty and the historic vail saved the look, the dress looked like a expensive nightgown with a train)

To suggest that they would hold the wedding in the Palace church is also absurd, seriously Daniel Nyhlen needs to shape up his writing...

Absolutely, Larzen! I'm also not very pleased with what the Queen wore on her wedding day - but I guess it was very 70's like, the wedding fashion of that time (I was not born yet though, so I can't say)... Indeed it would look like a night gown, or a Lucia robe even...

(Does Victoria even know about Dior??)

Yes, does she know? :) Perhaps she recognized the name Dior from one of those magazines she apprently goes through, when she "tries to stay up to date" about design...

Yes, the suggestion that a wedding of this dignity could be held in the Palace Church if frankly a load of crap! It's a small church, and only used for small family weddings or other occasions.

here is a photo of the Palace Church

where is it located in the palace

will Victorias wedding be a Tiara event like the recent Danish and Norwegian weddings since Scandinavian Monarchies throw the best weddings!....

I am agreeing! The Scandinavian weddings were indeed best. In the case of Victoria no one knows. Her parent´s wedding was no tiara event, but Victoria and Daniel have mainly attended evening weddings in the past years...and this would then mean gala gowns and tiaras in the "Royal version". And adding the Danish and Norwegian CP weddings as measure, I´d say, that an evening wedding is most likely

Let´s all hope that it will be an evening wedding, the glitter adds another dimension to the festivity imo...

Just thought it would be useful to get everybody's thoughts on where and how we would like to see Prince William marry. I personally think the wedding should be at the Abbey and have the traditional balcony appearance and reception thereafter. I would like to see most of the pomp and ceremony usually involved in a royal wedding being maintained, and woul like to see the European royalty invited.

[wymanda]

St Georges at Windsor but with all the foreign royals & their heirs present. (and preferably without his maternal uncle & whatever bit of skirt he's chasing lately)

[RoyalProtocol]

In my humble opinion: A carriage procession from BP for The Queen, crowned heads, foreign royals, our royals etc. Then Carriages form Clarence Hosue for William and co. To The Abbey, full, proper wedding with a full Abbey broadcast live, streetliners form forces, Balcony appearance, Statement from HM making him a Duke/ Earl / Proper title for him and his wife (whoever she may be!) A carriage procession from the Palace to the trainstation in proper form for the honeymoon departure, perhaps also another order for William on his wedding day, though he already has the Garter so perhaps not.

[Royal Fan]

William And Catherine she in a wonderful wedding gown he in Army Attire Prince Henry and James as Bestmen at the abbey in the Spring or Summer Balcony Apreance ect ect Pomp and Pagentry!

but James is only 1 year old now....

[Maura724]

Definitely the Abbey...I can't imagine it anywhere else.

[blondie28]

I see William's wedding in St Paul's more. The cathedral is larger and seats more, and I love the light it lets in, the Abbey seems much darker. I hope he has a very beautiful wife, with a very royal wedding dress. It should be large since William will be king.

[muriel]

It would also be nice if there could be a tiara event for the gathered European royals. Perhaps a reception at Windsor the night before the wedding?
