And who wears black to a christening?!
|
Me, and I looked smashing 
Black is a perfectly suitable shade to wear for such a formal occasion. And I can't quite recall but did Jane wear black or a dark shade of plum?

Corline Herring? (Mary's redheaded lady-in-waiting) looked stunning
|
She really did, didn't she. Quite resplendent.

You'll see ships like that in most Danish lutheran churches.
The ship symbolize the journey through life - so it has nothing to do with this being a naval church.

I've seen that in some churches here in the US as well. It seems odd.
Not many passagers per bus it seems. That doesn't seem too efficient.

I thought it was plum. Black is ok if you break it up with something.

if he was accompanied by a lady wearing a red hat, it may be the comparatively wealthy Mærsk McKinney-Møller....

that's what makes the danish christenings special... and makes us speculate 'bout the names an the godparents...
it wouldn't be strange if nicholas and tatiana were godparents, paul is christian's godfather, and alexia is isabella's godmother, both of them are nicholas' brother and sister, first cousins of frederik...

Oh sweet baby Jesus, what is Amber Petty wearing??
Princess Benedikte in pale blue. Marie in grey, with the three Princes. Carina in a metalic colour, Tatiana with a blue dish on her head.
Caroline Heering looks wonderful - as usual. Helle also looks quite good, they've both arrived to the Kirke. And are sitting in the godparents section!

So are these the godparents sitting in the back?
