Lots of wonderful pictures of a wonderful day!

Thanks for taking the time to share all these great pictures Mandy.

In many of the pictures you can get a very good look at the necklace and matching earrings Edward personally designed for Sophie and gave to her on their wedding day.

They wanted a very simple wedding. The reason why the queen & duke weren't in a carriges was that only the wedding party rode in the carriges. I think it was very nice.
Remember when Prince Edward had problems getting the ring on, some people believed that meant they would have problems but overcome them. I didn't believe it then but now I see how true it was.

Did Camilla come to the wedding?

[Nichola]

No, msleiman, Camilla wasn't invited to the wedding.

There was a very select guest-list if I remember rightly - not even politicians were invited. It was strictly family and friends.

And what about the members of other royal houses?

There were a select number of members from the other royal houses, such as Queen Anne-Marie of Greece, Prince Nikolaus of Greece, Sultan of Brunei with his two wives, King Abdullah of Jordan, Prince Joachim and Princess Alexandra of Denmark. Prince Haakon of Norway, Prince Guillaume and Princess Sybilla of Luxembourg, Prince Georg of Hanover, Prince Felipe of Spain, Prince Hassan of Jordan, Prince Philipp and Princess Xenia of Hohenlohe-Langenburg.

It was one of the best! The only drawback was her Tiara.

Did anyone else think that the church ceremony was really boring and bad. They came in,said yes,sing a song....

You can´t compare it to the lovely -prepared wedding in church of WA and Maxima. There were element which it was obvious to see meant very much to the couple but in Sophie and Edward´s case it seemed very cold and standart...

well yes i agree a little bit i also would have liked to see that they love each other.. after six years not really in the big spotlight they could have shown sth to the public which obviously would have loved it!

i also think there weren't really politicans just blair and his wive but probably because they first just wanted a very little one but had to see that people wanted to see them and all with a great interest of the medias!

[Princess_Beatrix]

I didn't really like her dress. :(
I think it looked as if it was some sizes too tall...

I didn't see the ceremony.. are there any online-videos???

I have seen all the candids of the Wessex's wedding on here, but none of the official portraits. Would someone post them?

Does anyone have pictures of any of these guests? I saw one of Haakon posted here, but none of the other foreign royals.

Sophie and Edward wanted to keep their wedding very small and simple because British royal weddings seemed doomed for failure! All of his siblings have got divorced and it was often due to a high amount of publicity, Diana becme the most photographed woman and this resulted in high stress levels between herself and her husband. The couple have learnt from this and decided to keep themselves out of the publics eye so their is less pressure on their relationship

There are some links on the right hand side but they are only audio.

I don't think any other foreign royals were invited to the wedding. They wanted to keep it simple.
