Yes, if you check out the whole thread, there are a lot of laughing moments I've never seen again in another royal wedding: Victoria laughing with Jaime de Marichalar, Iñaki sharing an amusing story with King Carl Gustaf, Queen Sonja with King Juan Carlos, I've never seen Queen Sofia laugh that much; everyone was in great spirits!

After the dinner Infanta Doña Cristina and Don Iñaki went to Barcelona Congress Centre to watch a show that the city prepared to honor them.
I watch it on TV:)
 
The only thing I liked about Cristina's dress was the color.I just loved Marie Chantal's dress.

Thanks for all the photos.I enjoy these kinds of pictures!
