Just a warning: the couple actually will wave from the balcony of the townhall in Sønderborg

That means, they will also give a kiss in the balcony :P ...
So as it was said, it is the public who demands public kisses...LOL...i am afraid they will demand something else and Mary and Fredie have to.... :woot:

So as it was said, it is the public who demands public kisses

And Frederik and Mary will oblige - like at weddings with a smart bride and groom - after, they insist the public turns to each other and kisses the other ... then and only after then will they embrace in a passionate kiss.

Ha ha ... can you see that, foreigners and strangers and neighbours and chatleen and visitors turning to each other and acquainting themselves in such a way ! :P

[hrhcp]

So much for Aarhus, the fireworks festival has come and gone.

[hrhcp]

Tuesday, July 27.
10.00 am Crown Prince Couple commence official visit in Ålborg.

But, according to Chatleen, the only items of interest on the official itinerary, are:

Chatleen  Posted: Jul 2nd, 2004 - 1:05 am

A walk around the town, and a visit at a workshop for ceramics.

I think your implication is somewhat obscene, if what I think you're implying is correct. I think either spell it out or don't say it.

1- it was meant for fun..fun...fun

2- it was also meant to criticize the excuse someone earlier gave to defend Mary and Fred when i said they like to give kisses in public and the person said it is the public who asked for that...does this mean if the public ask for kisses, they will also ask for something else..In other words, i did not buy the excuse?

3- things are relative in this world..some cultures find public kisses NOT accpetable even if they come from married people...if you want to kiss, do it discretly...other cultures do mind doing things in public...So..........

:dew:

Beautiful KISS!!! what's wrong with it???? I hope they will do that infront of people for at least a first year of their wedding.

I don't know why some jealous people find it not acceptable

Absolutely ADORE the outfit!!!!!!!

Don't mean to drool ( :P ) but hey, the lady has STYLE with a capital "S". Yaayy, good on ya Mary! :flower: :flower: :flower:

[Chatleen]

About 1 hour ago I was within a metre distance from both Frederik and Mary :P

Well, most of you probably don't care about my boasting, but for my it was a really nice experience. My friend and I brought some champagne, and I was able to make a toast with the couple At least I did my part of the toast....

They both looked very happy and actually a lot more suntanned than in the pictures, I think. They walked with a little distance to each other, and both of them turned to each row in both side of the street. You could see, that they made a effort to make eye contact with as much people as possible. The children in front of me talked a litte bit with Mary, saying "Hi", and "See, I'm also dressed as a Princess today" Afterwards we talked about, that it was a good trick to let some children stand in front of us, even if we had places in the first row from the beginning

I also saw them arriving by Dannebrog and in the car, when they were on their way to the university. Even if the car was really close by me, the distance felt longer. The same thing goes for an open carriage, I also saw them in the first row at the wedding. But today, when they were walking, I would say it was the nicest experience :)

You can't say always that people are jealous to defend your point...It is about perception..and like i said, cultures differ...some would find just holding hands in public offensive, others would find a public REAL KISS just nice and very acceptable ..

Just accept people's differences

Are you doing so, Humble?

it was also meant to criticize the excuse someone earlier gave to defend Mary and Fred when i said they like to give kisses in public and the person said it is the public who asked for that...does this mean if the public ask for kisses, they will also ask for something else..In other words, i did not buy the excuse?

When the crowd asks for a kiss, it just shows, that people like a newlywed couple to show their love, doesn't it.

Around here it is a custom at weddings to demand quite a few kisses from the newly weds. Another custom is, that each time the groom leaves the table, all the men in the party hurries to kiss the bride (mostly on the cheek), and when the bride leaves the table, all the women hurries to kiss the groom.

Actually the custom is repeated in 25th wedding anniversaries, in 50th wedding anniversaries etc. A matter of cultural difference...

The children in front of me talked a litte bit with Mary, saying "Hi", and "See, I'm also dressed as a Princess today"

Cute story... :flower: A few pictures of those "princesses" :P

Is it cold in Denmark at this time of year? Mary looks nice but I feel like I'm looking at pictures in the middle of the autumn instead of the summer.

I am seriously curious: why is Fred in military uniform? Does he always wear military uniform for official events?

[Alisa]

The temperature in Aalborg is a high of 68F/20C and a low of 54F/12C...That's pretty chilly for summer to me as Floridian :P

From personal observation, I have noticed that whenever the Dannebrog is used as vessel for transportation for an official visit it almost always receives a navy ceremonial welcome, and male members of the RF are always in uniform. I hope that helps. :flower:

Actually I think, it is a bit more than 20C today Maybe around 23C :P

I like that temperature - if it gets more than 30C, I don't enjoy it.

Actually this is quite a bad summer this year, but usually there is some days during the summer with around 30C.

Thanks for all your pictures :flower:

Apparently the Danes there don't think it's offensive. B)
