How wonderful! They are being serenaded by a choir with some beautiful song. I love this wedding!
ahh I didn't know he had attended those weddings that's always good to know. Ah yes I totally forgot about his chest infection.Prince Charles is ill, he has a chest infection. He attended neither Royal Ascot nor the Order of the Garter ceremony.
Queen Elizabeth hasn't attended a big european royal wedding in a long time. And she is a lot older than the other Queens.
Edward and Sophie of Wessex usually attend the european weddings.
However Charles has attended W-A's, Haakons, Felipe's and Phillipes.

May their future be better than theirs!The crowd reminds me of Charles and Diana's wedding. I wasn't expecting so many people!
Yeah! He looks like he's gained some weight. Who is the young woman in beige he escorted earlier this morning to the ceremony? The broadcast is in Swedish and as I said, my Swedish is a little rusty!
I was expecting a more grander tiara and a grander dress, but it's all good. True, the updo needed something more than that tiara, but maybe she figured that since it's not all about her, she would go the understated route and keep it simple. I probably would have done the same thing.They actually just showed quite a long clip of Queen Rania walking with Queen Paola.
I didn't like the hair as much at first but now I think she looks very pretty. I just wish she had worn one of her other diamond tiaras. With an updo she could've worn a bigger tiara. But I think she was going for a very simple look in terms of jewellery.
I don't think my laptops battery will last much longer lmao gotta find the charger!!
The cameo tiara is to remind of the Napoleonic era- and the lace veil if I am not mistaken was her mother's veil Queen Silvia who was married on this day thirty four years ago.. The bridal gown was lovely in design but badly executed as the when they lifted the train one could see the veil's hem and it was not lined in something to conceal the visibility of the hemming.Hi! Watched the whole thing here (while eating breakfast) in Pennsylvania.
BEAUTIFUL!!! I LOVE the tiara and that gorgeous piece of ivory lace and the cameo bracelet and earrings. It was set off perfectly by the simple yet elegant gown with the oh-so-cute tiny sleeves. It made her Victoria look young, beautiful and queenly all at once.
The church was GORGEOUS. All that gold and those pink flowers. I liked the pastel color scheme: Sylvia in pink, Madeline in light blue, Mrs. Westling in dove gray, pale blue carpet and pale pink flowers. That will look very nice in group photos.
I was totally AMAZED at the number of people lining the streets. Saw a lot of negative comments (at royals in general) in The Local. But it seems everyone turned out. So glad. The couple seems very much in love and as though they were thrilled to finally be there. LOL! I wonder how many times they thought this wasn't going to happen for them? They deserve every happiness. Victoria seems so sweet, I don't know much about Danielle but she couldn't possibly love a man who was not a sweety himself.
Love the blue and gold boat. So cool. Even a submarine! Jet planes! Oh, yeah, now THAT"S a wedding. The lavendar flower balls at the palace are adorable. And the heart of flowers on the lawn. Thsi has been fabulous to watch. And I have now added Sweden to my list of Place I Plan To visit. I had no idea it was beautiful there.
As to the guests, it was really cool seeing so many queens in one spot, no matter how they were dressed. We just don't ever get that here in the USA.
Best Royal Wedding Ever!!!!!!!!!!
hah I can relate I almost electricuted myself I was in such a hurry not to miss anything.Me too!! I had to run up my stairs to get my charger. I'm out of breath as I type....

Bless their hearts! Victoria and Daniel are real super troopers! They must be getting a little tired. It's been such a big day for the both of them. By now I would be gently asking for a chair to sit down. You know, she can slip her shoes off and nobody would know.... She might be wearing flip flops under that gown!!!They look so happy on the balcony.
Someone was asking about the english song in the church, the song is "When you tell the world you're mine", I believe
Does anyone know the name of the song they played?
