Well, in fact she IS very short (only 1,60m or 1.62m I think). Walking next to Harald makes her look extremely small.

A similar question as in the Beatrix&Claus thread:
(Crown Princess Beatrix & Prince Claus 1966)
I was reading in a Royaltybook that there didn't come many Royal guests to the wedding in Norway. It was spoken of a true Boykott of the wedding. Is that true?
What was their reason for the boykott of the wedding?
It was also written that there was death-case. Does anyone know what happened???

I don't know if there was a real boykott , but maybe some people were not content because Sonja was the first commoner to become a Crownprincess and then a Queen...

Ahout the deathcase: On the special weddingpage of Angelfire it is written:

The death of HRH the Princess Marina, Duchess of Kent, a friend of King Olav V and above all the invasion of Czechoslovakia by the Soviet forces would sadly reduce the celebrations even if the happiness of the Crown Prince and Miss Haraldsen or indeed the one of the Norwegian people were not affected.

When you go on reading it is written that the morning before the wedding the death of Duchess Mariana was announced and the press asked King Olav if the wedding will be canceled, since he and the Duchess were very close (HRH Princess Marina had been whispered as a possible second wife of King Olav, after the deaths of both their consorts).

I loved her veil... I've always favored longer veils over shorter ones. I think longer ones are more dramatic.

Just a questions:
Why didn't they exchange weddingrings like it's done during a traditional wedding??

I really love "Trumpet Tune and Air"! It's a great song for coming inside the church! It's so dramatical!

I just found out that they did. from the angelfire special "After pledging love and fidelity to each other, kneeling to receive the blessing and exchanging the rings, the new Crown Princess of Norway curtseyed profoundly to her father-in-law, the King of Norway, and returned with her husband to their seats. "

Does anyone know what the circumstances were mentioned here that caused the guest list to be smaller than comparable events?

As mentioned above by Her_Majesty, as well as in the book about Crown Prince Harald by Christian Borch, the events in Czechoslovakia a few days prior to the wedding, where Soviet forces invaded the country, led to the celebration being downsized. Furthermore, the death of Princess Marina, Duchess of Kent, second cousin to King Olav, on August 27, also put a damper on the festivities.
