Copenhagen Cathedral is the place where Crown Prince Frederick of Denmark and his fiancee, Miss Mary Elizabeth Donaldson will exchange marriage vows on May 14, 2004.
If you have pictures and informations, you may post it.
Our Lady's Church - Copenhagen Cathedral
Vor Frue Kirke (Domkirken)
Our Lady's Church in Copenhagen - the city's cathedral - has been ravaged by fire to an exceptional degree, and the present building is at least the seventh in a row.
After each reconstruction the church reflected the style of the time - thus it was built in High Gothic style in 1316, after the fire of 1728 as a baroque church and finally after the English bombardment of Copenhagen in 1807 as a neoclassic temple, designed by the leading architect of the day, C. F. Hansen.
The Cathedral's organs have also been rebuilt and replaced many times - not always because they were destroyed or worn out, but often because musical tastes had changed. The present instrument, built in 1995 by Marcussen & Søn, accordingly superseded an organ which was only 30 years old.
Copenhagen Cathedral
If you are going to observe the picture, far right of the cathedral looks like Christiansborg Slot. Its the parliament building of Denmark.
Copenhagen Cathedral (Vor Frue Kirke [Our Lady's Church]) is rather simple as cathedrals go, but it is famous for its statues of Christ and the apostles by Thorvaldsen.
This Greek Renaissance-style church, built in the early 19th century near Copenhagen University, features Bertel Thorvaldsen's white marble neoclassical works including Christ and the Apostles. The funeral of Hans Christian Andersen took place here in 1875, and that of Søren Kierkegaard in 1855.
The cathedral inside is very nice especially the altar.

Very nice pictures, samitude. The church is beautiful but very plain looking; I mean lots of white, pale, washed out walls. I hope that whoever decorates the church for the wedding will add lots of colour to the church by way of bright flowers. Perhaps deep red roses or bright pink roses?
Northern European Protestant churches, even cathedrals, are almost always plain. Something of a reaction during the Reformation to the excesses of the Catholic Church - which is usually evident in their church's more exuberant architecture.
I adore the architecture of the cathedral inside and outside! It's simple yet I prefer it. It looks clean and very bright especially in the day. I am sure the cathedral would look grand during the wedding on May 2004. Especially with the kind of flowers they would put up.

WOW! What a fantastic cathedral. Much more beautiful than Felipe and Letizia's destination also the same week in may of La Almudena. What a beautiful church inside.....
A.C. C. This is a Crown Princely wedding, you better believe that there will be uniforms.....
I wonder if Letizia will be there and if she will wear a tiara like Maxima did when she was engaged?
I honestly am not a fan for Mary too much yet, but, really can't wait for this wedding, I am truley looking forward to a beautiful wedding.

My take on other European royals "taking part" in the ceremony as several of them did during the Norweigen wedding is that the "heirs presumptive" of two other monarchies were involved, if not more, however I remember that ~ CP Frederick of Denmark served as "best man" and CP Victoria of Sweden "read the lesson". It's akin "to the next generation of royals" type of thing. Anyone else have different views? Please let me know!

Loads of partying in May for the Royals. Especially the Norwegians, as I'm betting most of them will be invited to both Spain and Denmark, and have a National Day, May 17th, to celebrate inbetween as well.

The Danish wedding is on the 14th of May and the Spanish is the weekend after. And there's one in Jordan the week after there again, as I understand it.

I think the Jordanian wedding is before both the Danish and Spanish weddings, on May 1. [/b][/quote]
I just read in the Spanish newspaper ABC that Prince felipe and Letizia will be attending the wedding in Denmark on the 14th, then they have their wedding on the 22nd and will be attending the wedding in Jordan on the 27th. WOW!

from bt.dk
Swedsh Crown Princess Victoria will take her place in Vor Frue church on May 14th, with her beautiful younger sister. As will Norwegian Mette-Marit and Crown Prince Haakon. The seats in the church in the middle of Copenhagen will be so filled with royals and powerful heads of state from all over the world that it will be enough names that day to make magazines for a year.
It will be enough to watch. The top-meeting of EU will be as easy as making baby-food (?) in comparison, says historian and expert on the royal house, Claus Bjørn.
All the Royal houses
There will be sent out invitations to all the royal houses that Denmark is in touch with. This means all the European, and Thailand. We probably won't get to see Queen Elizabeth. It is a tradition that she doesn't show up, but is represented by a person close to her. Probably one of the princes.
Hardly Prince Charles
It doesn't seem like it will be Prince Charles, though, with the constant uncomfortable vibrations that surround him. It will probably be someone who won't create a discussion about something else by his presence, Claus Bjørn says who on the other hand think that it is certain that we will see the beautiful sisters from the Swedish royal house, just as the Norwegian Crown couple will accept the invitation.
In his eyes it's not impossible that the Spanish crown prince will come to Copenhagen with journalist Letizia, the couple who followed in Frederik and Mary's footsteps, when they recently became engaged, to the surprise of Spain.
There is no doubt that Frederik and Mary's wedding will be one of the events that really can gather the royal houses. They want to be there, all of them. The event will also get the most powerful politicians on the earth to go to Copenhagen to attend.
"There will probably be invites to all head-of states. George Bush will also be invited. He won't come, but the American President will be represented on some prominent level. A person with high status in the States. President Putin will also be invited, and he will also be represented with a prominent person with a high status," says Claus Bjørn.

Thank you for the article norwegianne.
In lieu of Prince Charles, I hope that it will be Prince Andrew who attends the wedding. He hardly attends many of the European royal events and I imagine that he would be lots of fun! But most likely I think it would be the Earl and Countess of Wessex who will attend the wedding as they seem to have attended a lot of European royal events in the past year or so, although I'm not certain of this since they've just had a little baby and may want to spend more time with her.
Interesting that Putin and Bush will be invited, however. Are foreign heads of state (non-royal) usually invited to such events? I know that the present government and past members of government of each country would be invited (in this case the Danish government past and present), and foreign figures whom the family is close to (in the case of Willem and Maxima it was Koffi Annan-sp? and his wife and Nelson Mandela and his wife).
Were foreign political figures invited to Haakon and Mette-Marit's Crown Princely wedding?

I saw this on royal blue forums about how mary when she was in australia last month for her sister's wedding she asked one of her freinds who she use to work with when she worked if she would be her bridesmaid for her wedding. You can find the article on royal blue forums under wedding?
I find it hard to belive that fred and mary are preparing to get married but it seems to me that there planning and preparation time is going at a snails pace since they always seem to be on holidays together and expecting sameone else to do the wedding for them.
If this is what denmark is getting for a future crown princess and a prince know
i see that these two are going to take it to a new level when there married and it called sitting on your ass and let sameone else do the work for you.
Boy and letzia has aready pick a person to make her dress i wonder why mary hasn't made this move yet. And she is running out of time as well.

I am sure they have people planning the wedding for them! They are most likley involved, but they have a staff of wedding planners doing the difficult stuff. The same could be said about Felipe and Letizia. Even my friends had professional wedding planners. All they chose were the main things like the dress, flowers, music etc. and the professionals worked their magic. I am also sure that Mary's dress is being designed as I type this, but the details are being kept from the public until the big day. They hardly seem "lazy" to me. I would leave most of the work to the professionals as well. :flower:
We really have no idea how far ahead or behind they are in their wedding preparations so I can't really comment. Just because we don't hear about it doesn't mean it's not happening (yeah ok that's a comment! ). I also don't know if Mary just asked her friend to be a bridesmaid when she went to Australia. IMO it's more probable that she already knew, but of course the press only made the link when they saw that friend having dinner with them in Sydney. For example, just because the press found out in 2002 (or 01?) that Fred was going out with Mary didn't mean that they only met each other at that time; they were already going out before the press found out.

A Tasmanian band - Derwant Valley Concert Band - has accepted a once-in-a-lifetime invitation to play at the Danish Royal wedding after the state and federal governments today chipped in $60,000 to allow the trip to proceed.

Why was it said that Prince Charles might not be Queen Elizabeth II's representative to the wedding? Prince Charles has attended all of the weddings of his fellow Crown Princes who have married (Norway, the Netherlands, Belgium, etc.). I do expect that the Earl and Countess of Wessex will also be there.

I wish they would release a new set of engagment photos; some casual, some formal, etc. ; but Netty said she got an e-mail saying that there are no plans to release another set of photos.
