Bendt Wedell and Pernille Poulsen's wedding.

I don't know who they are though. Friends of Frederik and Mary's? A member of the goverment or someone of importance in Denmark?

According to "Stig" on the SRMB Bendt is the biggest private land owner in Denmark (he owns 2 castles named Frijsenborg and Wedellsborg). Two of Bendt´s great-grandfathers were ministers for foreign affairs and his paternal grandmother was the highest ranked laidy-in-waiting at the danish court.
Bendt and his family are very close to the RF. He sometimes goes hunting with Frederik and Joachim...and his mother is close to Queen Margrethe.

And yes, the bride looks unhappy.

Nice pictures Alexandria and Jasl. I thought Mary looked pregnant at first too Lena. She still looks lovely.:)

[Alexandria]

The bride's dress, or at least the top part of it, sort of reminds me of the top of Mary's wedding dress. Perhaps she was inspired by Mary's dress?

Thanks for the info on who the bridal couple are Lena.

Yeah I thought that too! The flowers kinda look the same as well - sans the eucalyptus. Maybe a lot of Danish brides are walking down the aisles in this kind of dress.

Notice Mary's earrings too - reminds me very much of the earrings from Queen Ingrid's ruby parure :)

Baby rumours gaining momentum (can anyone tell me how to post thumbnails?). Here's this week's cover of Woolworth's Fresh magazine:



Excerpt provided by the people from Fresh magazine (go to their website and buy the magazine if you want to see the article, or to CP Mary MB for other people's comments on this article :)).

Mary's pregnant!

Princess Mary is ready to give the Danish palace what it really wants – an heir to the throne
It’s the news we’ve been waiting for – Danish royal family insiders say Princess Mary is pregnant.

Fresh can reveal that Mary and her husband Prince Frederik have cancelled a planned state visit to Japan in November, sparking fevered speculation in Copenhagen.

Courtiers tried to play down the significance of the couple withdrawing from the visit with Queen Margrethe and her husband Prince Henrik. An official spokeswoman said: “They were never going to Japan. It will just be the Queen and Prince Henrik.”

But earlier in the year Lord Chamberlain to Prince Frederik, Per Thornit, who has been grooming Mary, said they would be on the tour.

Of course these are subject to change
From the CPME MB:

On Saturday October 9th- The Crown Princess will launch the opening of a new highway in North-South Jylland.

On Monday November 15th-The Crown Princess will present at the Danish Center for International Cooperation and Mobility in Education and Training.

According to the official website :

Crown Prince Frederik will be regent from Sunday September 26th to Sunday October 3rd.

We atually think that's right - we don't remember it being said that they were!!!

And we think it's kinda funny 'cause there isn't really rumours in the Danish magazines - but there is in magazines from foreign countries

I think, the Danish magazines have learned their lesson - as I remember it, Princess Alexandra was pregnant every week from the wedding day until she actually officially announced her first pregnancy :p It was just like in the dating days of Mary and Frederik - one media launched the "news" on an upcoming engagement, and then everyone else jumped into the hyper-media-thing

Yeah - and don't get us wrong, it's great that they don't have all the rumours anymore :)

And btw, we really like Mary's dress!!!! It's so elegant, but also modern and so!
