Prince Joachim and Marie Cavallier, Current Events 2: May 2007 - May 2008

[ar135x]

Is this Marie's former employer? The company is called Reinvest, but there's no mention of her or her stepfather...

ReInvest

[GlitteringTiaras]

Yes, that was the company she worked for. Marie quit her job a few weeks ago and I believe her step-father still co-owns the company,

Marie is the fifth child (and only daughter) of Françoise and Alain Cavallier.

i think mary was added before the wedding, but don't quote me... so perhaps marie's bio will be up before it as well? i remember one of the official pics (at least) of mary definitely being on the webpage before the wedding, so i assume it was accompained by some sort of biography.

i can't wait for the official pics to be released or for further details on the wedding, jewels, ladies in waiting or patronages for marie... considering it's been a month or more since the official announcement was released, i am quite confident that we will have more news shortly.

by the way, this information was today in a spanish newspaper: it mentions that the danes may be left without wedding because marie wants to get married in france and the queen doesn't like the decision. lies, in my opinion, so take it with a pinch of salt.

ABC.es: gente-ocio - gente - Los daneses se quedan sin boda

[Paty]

I think that Marie will become Princess of Denmark and a member of the DRF, so they must married in Denmark!
And Marie belongs to the Roman Catholic Church, and she will become a member of the Evangelical-Lutheran Church of Denmark in connection with the marriage. So i´m sure they will be married in Denmark

When the Royal House made public the date of the wedding?

I don't think so. She isn't a danish princess yet.

I don't remember whether Mary was invited or not, but if she was, I don't think Marie and Mary can be compaired i this sense as Marys role was different from the role of Marie. Mary was goin to be CP.


Personally though - I would like to se Marie invited as it would be wonderfull to see this very beautifull woman i galla.

Her biodata and the fact that she met the prince through friends all seem to indicate that there's more to her than meets the eye.

Also, does anyone have further information on her parents, stepfather and brothers?

I never thought Marie was middle class well before her official bio came out. There were bits and pieces all along to suggest otherwise. Her father or stepfather and Henrik did business. She attended the finishing school. She met Joachim at a party. We knew she was rich. So, Marie has a slightly different background than Mary.

I should think so. Prince Gustav von Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg brings his fiancèe Carina to these ocassions, too, so why shouldn't Joachim?

Difficult to know. Mary did not attend the New Year's Kur while she was engaged to Frederik, as she spent Christmas in Denmark, but New Year's in Australia then.

But by being engaged, Marie certainly has a more formal position in the family, and I think that if she is in Denmark at the time, she might be there.

The thread http://www.theroyalforums.com/forums...07-a-1617.html does not include Mary in 2004.

[principessa]

I am wondering how long we have to wait for a wedding date!

[lyndaW]

I (personally) think that Marie is to marry a Prince of Denmark the wedding certainly must be in Denmark. However, after the honeymoon if her family wish they could have an elborate reception in France for the couple and invite who ever and how many guests they wish (as long as Marie's parents pay for this reception).

Does anyone have any hint of what kind of wedding its going to be and who their attendants will be.................gee, personally I want all the famous Danish dash and sparkles filled with tiaras and lots of Royals all in beautiful gowns.......but its not up to me..........darn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[magnik]

I'm on the semi - private wedding.
But on the other hand thinking that will be her first wedding I think that she wont to show everyone in white gown and tiara... no matter if the guests will be celebs or royals...

[Hanna Regina]

It would be rather unfair on Marie's part if they can't have at big wedding because of Joachim's previous marriage. If they want something smaller, they can have a fancy tiara wedding, but not invite too many guests. When it comes to other royals, they could invite only those they are close to or perhaps the younger generation. There are quite many royals of similar age as Joachim and Marie, in their thirties, and with children. If they were to bring their kids, that would make the cermony less formal and more intimate. And, ofcourse, that would meen playmates for Nikolai and Felix! Imagine them running around with Christian, Ingrid Alexandra, Sverre Magnus, Elisabeth, Gabriel, pss Alexia's kids and the other Greek children and so on!

I didn't mean to speculate this much.. I only hope they get the kind of wedding they want, and don't have to adjust their wishes because of other people's opinions of what's proper in this situation.

Marie hasn't been to Denmark lately!Or we haven't seen pictures of her lately!
