Congratulations to the couple!!

I was thinking the same, Frederik was there but no Mary. Anyways this came as a suprise, maybe because we were waiting so long for it to happen, i just thought it wont. Im also suprised but really looking forward to the wedding, id expect for a late announcment to have a summer wedding ( that would be lovely) spring is just as good. Thanks for the news

Will they have an official photo shoot for their engagement like Mary and Frederik?

I presume this photo is not the only photo we will have of for the announcement of the engagement. When does spring start in Denmark? I wonder if it will be another May wedding.

This is the state council picture (they gave their consent), Frederik was there because he attended the state council.
There will be a press conference and official pictures with Marie's parents (and Mary) later.
Just like it was done at Mary's engagement. See my earlier posts.

ricarda explained that mary wasn't there because she is not a member of the council.

just to sum up something else to the coincidence list (marie and mary's same names in different languages, the M in marie's name - another M-named princess...), i believe frederik's engagement to mary was announced also at the beginning of october and their wedding took place in spring. it's scary how many coincidences there are in royalty!

Horribe suit! She needs to make a extreme makeover to look like a Princess. White outfit with black shoes!! She will change for sure!

The jacket is too heavy for this light skirt. I am sure Marie will learn, she needs to find her own style and she and Joachim are totally different personalities as Fred & Mary. If her aim is to top Mary's sense of fashion she has already lost.

1. She has already lost????? Oh, give her a break, she is engaged to the Prince for about five hours and you say things like that? And: I doubt that her biggest aim in that marriage is to push Mary from a fashion throne!

2. Reports say that Marie's name in the future will be pronounced Danish. Mary is pronounced English, so the "a" is like the "a" in "mad". And Marie? Is it pronounced like in German or French, the "a" being like the "a" in "after"? And the stress in on the last syllable (Mary is stressed on the first)? Thanks.

I'm so excited to hear there will be a wedding. Can't wait to see all the lovely outfits and tiaras in the coming months! She seems very lovely and I wish them the best. I've seen only a few pictures of Marie and once a video (she handled herself very well I thought). I am eager to see what she receives for a tiara.

Just my thoughts

Mary had her fashion slips too, Marie will have ones (her outfit today was ok for me. No winner, but also nothing to close ones eyes about), just like nearly all other princesses. You can´t do always right and not all ppl can like your style.
It always was like that, it always will be like that...except anyone can sell a "princess uniform" to all princesses. Then no one could compare

Of course I´ve just spoken now for the "general opinion"...if one is thinking, that every outfit, that Mary has chosen since October 2003, was a stunner, I´m ok with it. Also style is in the eye of the beholder

I´m surprised, how short Marie seems. Somehow I had thought, she is at least 1.70m

However I´m happy for them! It will be very interesting to watch two young princesses in the DRF (talking about the nuclear family of the Queen) And maybe Marie can raise the "baby princess quote" in the DRF...

Denmark's Prince Joachim to wed French love Marie

my thoughts excactly re jacket and skirt, I doubt whether she will ever have the sophistication of Mary.

Me too. She seems very small in that picture. Somehow I always had the impression of a tall girl when she was standing next to Joachim. In that picture she looks much smaller than everyone around her.

I believe something similiar was said about Mary a few years ago, in comparison with Alexandra.
Styles and impressions can change.

She doesnt seem to be as tall as we think nor as short. I think she looks short due to the angle the picture was taken

That doesn't work for me because I don't have a danish IP number

lilytornado · #79 10-03-2007, 10:51 AM

Yippee!!! I am really happy that there will be another royal wedding! I cannot know 100 percent for sure yet, but I think I really like Marie.

Is Marie pronounced differently in Danish than in French??
