Lead-Up to Joachim and Marie´s wedding, 24th May 2008

[politikgirl]

Certainly Mary wouldn't be a bridesmaid... the bride usually has women who are closest to her as bridesmaids, just like Mary did with her wedding with her 2 sisters and Amber Petty. She certainly didn't have Alexandra as a bridesmaid. I'm not saying that Mary and Alexandra didn't get along, or that Mary and Marie don't get along; I'm just saying that bridesmaids tend to be close family/friends of the bride.

I don't think Felipe and Letizia will be there since this is supposed to be a more low-key wedding.

The Swedish might send some relatives, some Joachims Dads Family

I can't wait for this. I'm assuming it's not big, but I guess it's not an "official" wedding, but I'm sure that there will be some royals there, who are his friends.

I meant that they'll definately be present.... there's no question about that. I don't think that Mary will be a bridesmaid, and I'm not sure, but for some reason I'm thinking Fred was best man at Joachim's first wedding. Or was it Joachim best man for Frederik? I can't remember. But they'll certainly be there.

I think that really the only foreign royals that will come will be the Swedes and the Norwegians, as they seem pretty close to the Danish royals. (I'm not counting the Greeks, I'm kind of including them with the Danes). Maybe some that the couple is especially close with, but this is supposed to be very low-key, I presume, not like F&M's practically family-reunion. Will it be televised?

The brothers were each other's best man - perhaps Frederik would have liked to have two best men to be able to include Haakon of Norway whom he acted as best man for at Haakon's wedding.

Prince Frederik's 40th birthday is just a few days before the wedding date? Can we expect a birthday bash much earlier or later so as not to interfer with the wedding?


Please move this post to another thread if appropriate. Thank you.

I guess that the wedding in the church will be filmed bus as the official message from the court says so is the dinner 'private' meaning without the press. The grande salle in Schackenborg is by the way not big enough for tv cameras and the press - it does not have a gallery like Christiansborg Palace or Fredensborg Palace where the cameras can be placed...



PS: Thank you everybody for all your informations - I simply love The Royal Forums! What to do without the internet?!

[sjetajiem]

And another guest will certainly be count Jefferson von Pfeill und Klein Elguth, princess Alexandra zu Sayn Witgenstein Berleburg's husband.
Maybe that their children count Richard (8) and countess Ingrid (4)will be pages.

great news! quite a nice date, in my opinion. may weddings are always nice (in europe at least) due to nice weather!

when were guestlists on for frederik and mary's wedding?

[bbb]

thanks for the church link, it looks historic and romantic. it's the week of my birthday (usually go on a vacation, hmmmm have to arrange around this) i'm glad it's going to be a special day exactly the way they want to get married, less pressure and more personal. it will be exciting to see the guests, hope it's live on the net. i couldn't read the church web site(in danish). does it say it's founded in 800 AD? is there a family tie? is it close to where they will live? i do wish there was going to be a balcony scene

It will be a private wedding but I'am sure we will get to see many photos! I really hope we do!

Perhaps his two sons will stand up for him this time?

Yeah, I think so, too.
I guess there'll be photos made inside the church (I also think it will be broadcasted...).
Only the wedding banquet is said to be private.
I think it's understandable that the couple wants to celebrate privatly with their friends.
(I think it's quite funny they chose this "famous wedding day". Märtha&Ari married the same day.. and I think someone mentioned Frederik's grandparents )

According with the informatio. The wedding will be a private event.I believe is right, because Joachim has two boys.
