Infanta Cristina of Spain & Iñaki Urdangarin / October 4, 1997

The photos are great! Christina was so beautiful on her wedding day, and her dress is one of my all time favorites. Just curious, was Theodora of Greece a bridesmaid? Cuz there is a girl who looks just like her in the group pictures.

Great pictures Elsa! I have to say that Cristina's wedding really was one of my favorites. Her dress was so simple, but yet elegant and beautiful. I also loved her bouquet..again, very beautiful.

I think she is one of the most beautiful brides the last years, everything was perfect, the hair, the veil, the jewels, the flowers and especially her stunning dress and handsome husband.:) Thank for the pictures:)

It's also one of my favourites ever. Although Jaime Penafiel has criticised the dress for showing her shoulders, I really find it just PERFECT :)

Could be, Cristina and Theodora are first cousins...

It is Theodora. I saw the ictures a long time ago in a danish magazine, but who are the other bridemaids?

Sorry, but that is not Ari Behn with Märtha Louise. They didn't meet until 1999-2000 and they were married May 24, 2002.

I completely agree with you all: Christina made a <fantastic> royal bride.

In fact, looking back, in my opinion her dress really really stood the test of time very well so to speak. Plus, in my opinion, between Letizia, Elena, and her, I think she made the best, most pretty bride.

Why? Because, when you see these pictures, you (well at least I) think: "Now <that> is how <I> would want to look like if I were marrying a royal.

Versus, when I saw pictures of Letizia as a bride, my first thoughts were:
--Where <is> the bride? I see a dress, but no bride!
and
--the dress looked like one of Letizia's pant suits, but then one with a longer skirt!

And with Elena, I just thought:
--mmmmmm, mwaw. Lukewarm. OK bride in every way, but no "wow" reaction from me. Even though her dress was better than Letizia imo.
