Frederik and Mary's Pre-Wedding Festivities: May 2004


If you have answers, please help by responding to the unanswered posts.
I am not to sure about Victoria, but Carl Philip is looking good a lot like Orlando Bloom
 
Does anyone know if Mary has met any of these other royals yet? I know she met Felipe when they first got together, but what about the others?
 
I think he is becoming one of the best looking princes..:) He resembles oneof his maternal uncles.

She has met Crown Princess Victoria when she came for a visit.
 
I agree...the dress looks a little bit like a sack...and doesn´t fit to Mary...she looks emaciated in it. But she has to wear so many different dresses at so many different occasions these days...she can´t do right all the time!
 
I can't believe the wedding is only two days away!!!!(Josefine's avatar reminded me)

It seemed like only a month ago when I secretly cursed her out in my mind.
Those where the days. :rolleyes:
 
Ok, I'll probably get ten angry posts within 30 seconds of saying this but...I really didn't like the "accessories" (tiara, necklace, chandelier earrings) on Mary at the gala. While it was nice to see her in a tiara (finally!) the three pieces together seemed a bit overwhelming, especially with her hair. I think it might have been a bit more elegant if she would have left out the earrings...

any thoughts?

:innocent:
 
I am just watching the Vega party now--wonder what they are saying--some people are dressed a little weird, but at least there are no undergarments showing!

Was there live feed? I didn't even bother to check. Or were you watching a clip?

Overweight? Pardon...Prince Laurent has overweight, but not W-A. Maybe Fred is a little bit more attractive, but W-A is really cute. :D

W-A 1
W-A 2
Each to their own preference of course, so please don't get angry if I say that WA reminds me of Donald Trump with real hair.

Does anyone think so? Or am I watching too much of The Apprentice. Nahhh, I think they look a bit similar. :innocent:
 
He has lost some weight and he looks good there. Except for his hair and teeth.

HRH The Crown Prince’s Reply at the Reception in the Danish Parliament (Folketing) on the occasion of the Royal Wedding, 14 May 2004

Mr Speaker,

On behalf of my fiancée, Miss Mary Donaldson I should like to convey to you our sincere gratitude for the warm and friendly welcome we have received in the Folketing today.

I also wish to take the opportunity to express my warmest thanks for your very kind words to my fiancée. You have given us both great pleasure.

In a few days, we embark on a new life together,  which will be both private and official.

We are aware that there are high expectations of us. We shall do our best to live up to them.

Over the years, successive parliaments have shown my family and me much kindness, and with your warm words today, Mr Speaker, both my fiancée and I feel well prepared to face the future. In the days to come, it will give us a great deal of pleasure to think back on this day.

Mr Speaker,

Thank you very much indeed for the beautiful dining table, which the Danish Parliament  has given us today as a wedding present. I am sure that, also in our home, the dining table will be a place around which we gather, for a good meal, lively discussions and good times together.

Thank you very much.

Yes, I can actually imagine that!! I'm sure it will be friends first, then (hopefully!) the royal children!!!!

But wedding first ... I'm getting ahead of myself ;)
 
Another winning outfit, can't wait to see what she has on for the gala tonight.
 
I think the swedish royal family will not be in denmark tonight so we will not see tiaras and gala dresses from the queen and princesses.

Crowned Heads In Vega

Crown Prince Frederik and Mary Donaldson took the night off on Wednesday from a packed programme of official appearances in connection with tomorrow's Royal Wedding, partying into the wee hours of the night with a select list of close friends and young European royals at Vesterbro nightlife fixture, Vega.

Several hundreds guests were invited to the private party. Royal-watchers and members of the press were barricaded outside the nightclub, hoping to catch a glimpse of the celebrated couple and their glittering guests. Prince Joachim and Princess Alexandra were on hand for the party, together with several of Crown Prince Frederik's cousins, including Greek Crown Prince Pavlos and his pregnant wife Marie-Chantal, Prince Nikolaos, and Princess Alexia and her husband Carlos Morales. Princess Benedikte's side of the family was represented with Prince Gustav, Princess Alexandra zu Sayn-Wittgenstein, her husband Jefferson, and Princess Nathalie.

Spain's Crown Prince Felipe was among the guests, together with his fiancée Letizia Ortiz--the pair is expected to wed in Madrid the weekend after Frederik and Mary's nuptials. Crown Prince Willem-Alexander and Crown Princess Maxima represented the Netherlands, while Crown Prince Phillippe and Crown Princess Mathilde were on hand from Belgium. The blue-blooded guest list also included Japan's Crown Prince Naruhito, Norway's Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette-Marit, together with Princess Märtha Louise and her husband Ari Behn. The Swedish royal family was represented with the photogenic trio of Crown Princess Victoria, Prince Carl Philip, and Princess Madeleine.
