i was wondering who christian scherfig is exactly. i couldn't find what his relationship with joachim and marie is - is he friends with joachim perhaps?

I'm not sure, Carlota, but he attended the By Malene Birger fashion show with Marie and Britt Siesbye in Copenhagen yesterday. Perhaps he is Marie's friend?

Yes, an interesting tradition. I understand that garlic was used to ward off evils (including diseases). There is a garlic soup which Spaniards have for getting over colds...

I wonder how infants react to the garlic / wine combination.

I suddenly wanted to see the christening today but the video has been removed anyone know where else I can still see it? Sorry for bumping this thread.

I found a cute video on Youtube, obviously broadcasted shortly before or after Henrik's christening (didn't know exactly where else to put it):

It also features something about Joachim and Marie's personal life and I think her learning Danish. Very likeable
