I know what is mostly annoying me on the official group photo.. I am missing the beautiful trail and veil of Marie's dress.

What's the nice wedding. Marie was beautiful. I loved her hairdo, veil, earrings and tiara. The top of her dress was very nice but I am not sure about thee skirt, it was to puffy for her petite body. After all Marie looked lovely, very feminine.

Joachim looked handsome in his uniform.

I like seeing him so emotional with boys and when he saw his lovely bride. Both boys are uber cute. Little Felix falling asleep at church was priceless.

I am disappointed with CP Mary's dress. Color was OK, but style

. Those ruffles, I know many before me criticized them, and rightfully so. This dress made Mary looking matronly and I disliked her tiara.
Victoria was stunning in her red dress but I hated that "jeep-tiara".

And one more. Prince Gustav girlfriend Carina although pretty shouldn't wear tiara. I am traditionalist maybe, but she should be wife first.

Ladies, forgive my ignorance, but who is Carina? In what way is she related to the royals as I have understood she is not a royal herself.

that was my first thought when I saw the picture as well Naggi, and also I forgot to mention it!

It's really too bad the photographer didn't see that because the picture would have been prettier with the trail and veil being visible!

Oh, one thing about Marie. She had one of the worst moments any bride could have during her wedding, when wind almost took her veil. I was so sorry for her, but she managed that gracefully.

I only hope that silly media will not show over and over this pic with her mouth open in surprise when wind was taking her veil.

Me too! That's why I said Joachim should haven been the first-born. Also, looking at all the pictures, I like Marie's dress more and more,and she is very pretty. Joachim second son is a cutie.

I think she looks more and more like her sister, the older one.

How wonderful to have all these photos so quickly! Thank you to everyone who posted them.

It must have been great fun to watch the wedding live on the internet as some of you could.

I think Marie's dress was lovely. Queen Margrethe looked particularly good, too. Prince Henrik must have been happy to have so many people to speak French with.

Emerald · #**391** 05-25-2008, 05:23 AM

Nouwrein, is that Spain's crown-princess in your avatar? I think so, but I'm not sure.

What a beautiful wedding.

Firstly, the bride looked so beautiful. The dress, the makeup, the tiara and jewels. She looked f - a - n - t - a - s - t - i - c !

I think Marie and Joachim will have a really great life together, seeing Joachim shedding tears and just it all, it was breathtaking, I think they truly, really love each other. This is my favourite part of the wedding, omg, the most beautiful moment captured on TV of all times. SERIOUSLY, have a look at it if you havn't seen it yet, it's Joachim reaction when Marie walks into the church, and the way he then decides to interact with his boys to keep the tears away. WATCH IT ! Here it is: TV 2 Kongelig - Prins Joachim fældede en tåre, scroll down and there is a video, press on the "play" button.

The guests ..

Mary: Beautiful
Marie's mother, Francoise : Really french elegant, loves the satin fabric, and the gold color, she looked very elegant
Queen Margrethe : Not too fond of that shade of pink, nevertheless, she looked, as always, regal, creative, lively, original, and extremely good for her age.
Tatiana Blatnik, Prince Nikolaos' fiancée : WOW ! Stunning color, stunning shape !
CP Mette: Nice, like a fairytale princess, imo.
Princess Martha-Louise: Like the dress and the colors, however the shape of what she wore OVER the dress made it all look a little pathetic. The hair was NOT good.
Victoria: Sweet, but borring.
Alexandra S-W-B : love the purple dress and clutch, however what was with that silvery glittery thing she wore over ? Looked like something off Saturday Night Fever !
Carina : Sweet, but she has looked better.

My winner of the day is [ except Marie ], is . . . . . Tatiana Blatnik, for me anyway

Marie made a lovey bride.

Mary looked stunning, by far the best of all the ladies.
Loved the colour of the Queen's dress.

Are you trying to keep me crying, this part is just so sweet and emotional that I could just watch it a million times and still be touched enough to feel tears burning in my eyes

Thanks so much for posting it though

I was just wondering has anyone seen a picture of that part where he's trying to keep himself from crying by interacting with the boys? My favourite part of any wedding I've seen so far.

I think they will definitely have a wonderful life together, they look so happy and in love. can't wait to see their first child

I just wanted to thank everyone for all the videos, picture and watching it online together. I absolutely loved it

Carina is the girlfriend of Prince Gustav of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg. Along with Prince Nikolaos' girlfriend Tatiana Blatnik, she's one of the few to be invited to family occasions like this one without actually being engaged or married into the family. I suppose they can do it like this, with these two and not Victoria's boyfriend Daniel, because there would be a different set of expectations if Victoria appeared with Daniel at at royal wedding.

And although I'm loath to contradict the well-known fashionista, Madame Royale, (whose opinion I eagerly seek out on these boards on all matters sartorial, especially) I thought that CP Mary's dress was quite wonderful. I think that I've noted before that CP Mary is one of the few women in the world whose contemporary wardrobe is often in the vanguard of fashion. From what I recall from the recently concluded Fashion Weeks around the world, frills, furbelows and flounces will be on everything before too long.

Gainsay all you like, Polly. Your opinion is as valid as mine and I like to hear your thoughts as I'm certain a great many do...

With the Crown Princess, there is a certain guise which best illustrates her striking subtelty and this just happens to be one example which does her, in overall effect, little justice as is my personal, and perhaps professional opinion. However, the colour is delicate and encouraged natural rouging and of course a fitted bodice is what's encouraged, and should be observed, for a woman in her mid-thirties. Not omitting Mary's lovely waist and reasonable bust which of course enables her to sport such apparel.

Blues are expected to play across all tones in the coming season so the opted colour is perfectly harmonised.
