It will be lovely to see the whole family but I really can't wait to hear his name!

Marie will carry the little prince into the church and will hold him during the christening:

Billed-Bladet - Marie bÃ¦rer selv lilleprinsen

The article talks about how this has been a Danish tradition, and that Marie, like all mothers is concerned that the little guy will behave during the ceremony. The article also talks about the close relationship they have.

When will be the end of christening??

Here's another photo of Joachim and Marie from this morning:

Pressen sætter Møgeltønder på den anden ende - Danmark

This article talks about the media frenzy surrounding Mogeltonder. There are journalists there who are not only from Denmark, but from France, China, Switzerland, and Germany. It is as busy, and possibly worse than the craziness that surrounded the wedding last year. The article also states that several major royalty magazines have announced their arrival (doesn't say which magazines).

Ducii, the christening will end at 18.15 (6.15 pm) Danish time. The ceremony begins at 17.30 (5.30 pm) Danish time.

I am incredible excited about this christening

The pictures of Marie and Joachim visiting Møgeltønder Church this morning are beautiful.
I thought the christening started at half past 4, or was that when the godparents are announced?

Here come some of the guests!

I am so pleased that the rain and grey weather have stayed away. It looks like a gorgeous summer day.

They have just played a shot of the inside of the church. It looks absolutely beautiful!

Here is another article about today's event:

jp.dk - Alt klar til sønderjysk prinsedåb

150 guests are expected at the church and reception afterward. There are a small number of seats inside reserved for media, and 125 seats outside for the rest of the media. This is the second time that the church has hosted a royal christening. Prince Felix was christened here in 2002. Nikolai was christened in 1999 at Fredensborg Kirke.

Guestlist!!!

Kongehuset - Aktuelt - Nyheder

I am so pleased that Prince Nikolaos and his lovely girlfiend Tatiana will attend. I had been hoping to see some of the Greek cousins. I am also thrilled to see Carina Axelsson's name on the list. It doesn't look like Princess Nathalie will attend. This is most likely due to her equestrian events.

Some information about the flowers at church:

Lumutqueen · #54 07-26-2009, 10:36 AM

Anne-Marie and Nikolas

I think Nikolas and possible Tatiana might be godparents?
Shame about Nathalie not being on the list, I was rather hoping she would make godmother.

But I think I can see the godparents from the guestlist now.

principessa · #55 07-26-2009, 10:37 AM

Tatjana Blatnik is the girlfriend of Prince Nikolaos of Greece and Denmark, lumutqueen!

**MAfan** · #56 07-26-2009, 10:38 AM

It's interesting, the 92 y-o Count Carl Johann Bernadotte will attend...he is the last surviving great-great-uncle of the little Prince.

Lumutqueen · #57 07-26-2009, 10:40 AM

Is the Count 92?
I wonder what the reason behind him attending is?
I'm very glad that someone from sweden is attending.
Last surviving great-great uncle, how wonderful.

I love that they have included Danish summer flowers and French lavender in the flowers! A fitting tribute!

It says the flowers are white, creamy yellow, and delicate mauve. There are floral decorations on the pews that symbolize life and happiness. There are dahlias, hortensia, roses, and snapdragons among the flowers.

Here is another article that talks about the town's preparations for the christening:

http://ekstrabladet.dk/flash/kongeli...cle1198610.ece

It says, "the streets are blocked, the flags are displayed". The town looks very charming. I would love to visit someday!

Caroline Flemming has now arrived. She is a friend of the DRF, and the one who was there when Marie and Joachim met for the first time! She looks lovely in a black and white printed dress and black fascinator with black flowers. I wonder if she will be a godmother?
