Thought I'd post some pics of Fred from his younger days with old flames. First is Fred and Katja. Top pic is of Frederik sitting next to Alexandra at a state dinner (it's just cute, so I thought I'd post it)
Katja.....
Maria Montell...

Before I get to your other questions Alexandria I wanted to point out how most of Fred's ex-girlfriends have gotten married (save for Maria Montell)...hmmm, is Fred a committment phobe?
Bettina is a cute person and while I am not crazy about strapless wedding gowns, I actually think she looks very fresh and attractive. Her bouquet is appropriate, too. It's got a little color and it's not terribly formal. Some brides absolutely ruin the overall look w/ the wrong flowers. I think Bettina looked great. The gown actually looks as though it suits her breezy personality.

Hmm ... interesting that most of Frederik's ex-girlfriends have gotten married. What does that say about Frederik?!
I have to say that Bettina looks quite pretty in these pictures. The pictures that were posted of her a few years ago when she and Frederik were dating and the whole naked on a boat thing were not very flattering of her.
I do like her simple dress and flowers. I think you're right Julia, some brides do overdo their flowers so that they overpower the effect of their gown or whatever. But Bettina's are small, simple and elegant with just a pop of colour.
I agree that the whole naked on a boat thing was not in the least bit flattering, but here she looks very fresh and pretty. The bouquet with that pop of color is just perfect for spring/summer.
Now, I know I am getting far too ahead of myself but I am I really wonder what Mary would choose as a gown (flowers, the whole kit and caboodle)?

:) CP Frederick has the eyes for cute and pretty ladies..Look at her ex-girlfriends they are pretty but with varied personalities..:)
Bettina is a pretty person and I like her strapless gown because its style is simple yet elegant to look and wear. I think she looks good and attractive in her gown. Her bouquet is appropriate for her look. Though it has somewhat a little color but it didn't ruin the look. Some brides ruin their looks because of having the wrong flowers in the boquetl. Bettina looked great. The gown actually shows her outgoing personality.

Prince Frederick has a lot of girlfriends. Some are good looking and I find others less beautiful though. But they have distinct features.. I find Katja Storkholm beautiful.. CP Fred and Princess Alexandra would have been a good pair but I think Alexandra best siuts with Joachim.

The danes do certainly not agree with you !!!
The danes are so relieved "the chosen one" is not a woman of that kind.
Besides both of them have moved on :
Since the break up with the Crown Prince of Denmark - 7 years ago - Katja lived many years with another man - was possibly married and then divorced from him - Katja is now about to get married to yet another man.
Crown Prince Frederik has had some girlfriends in the last 7 years - since Katja ...
In Denmark literally everybody is so happy for their beloved Crown Prince who has found a classy, well educated, strong, courageous, impressing and beautiful fiancee.
Why this danish perception - of the actual fiancee - is not possible to captive for readers of the royal message boards - is mainly due to extremely few danish posters - I guess.
Whisper : Oh yeah, then of course we have the shameful lies about their first meeting - invented, posted and therefore only publically known - on the royal message boards.
The online danish media should however give watchers the possibility to capture the danish atmosphere surrounding her in the recent events.
Because I totally regret having posted in this topic at all - I decided to rewrite the post - even with some o/t remarks!
