Moving on, so dr.dk and tv2.dk will air the wedding online, right? Again, it's super late in the evening here in L.A. and I'm too lazy to research it myself.   By the way, it's good to "see" you again, UD  . |
Thanks GT
LOL - no, I don't agree with that 'we are paying for it, so we have a right,..' stuff. We - the Danish nation - pays the royal family an agreed sum of money. What they royal family spends that on is their business as far as I am concerned

wow, definitely fun! i would love to see them dancing those. :)
i didn't know there was such thing as an official release of the dance songs of the wedding.
i just saw marie's video and really enjoyed it. while i couldn't get to the end, it was much enjoyable and she seems a really sweet, warm person. i can't wait to see her in her role as princess.
i wonder if we'll get to know their chosen honeymoon destination... :)

Wow, she looks like a princess already. Flowers in hand, knees together (still needs to work on the ankles), admiring some document or thing presented to her. I didn't expect to see that until after the wedding.

Marie looked pretty today. Both, she and Joachim, looked really happy.
Joachim's pink tie is quite funny.

Still it was a nice thing to do, especially as she is not used to talk in public.

Thanks norwegianne. I was wondering what language she spoke in. I'm suprised that it was just the intro and the end. You would have thought that by now she would have been able to give a "small" speech in danish other than the beginning and the end.
But maybe that is just me. I guess I am expecting too much from her?!! I would think that since she is getting married this weekend and will be living full time with her new husband, and especially if she is going to start doing duties with or with out her husband she would have some grasp on the language. I'm not asking for perfection, just some of her new language. A little more than what she gave.
But like I said, maybe "I" expect too much out of her.

It depends what your personal limits are, Sesa. Some people believe it's okay to do with the minimal, hence to slide by. While others stress the importance of really trying to integrate oneself into a new culture... to really achieve and strive. Is there a right or wrong answer? Again, it all depends on the individual.
Conrgats to Marie for demostrating her Danish skills for the first time. Very good, Marie!

Marie had real pep in her step as she walked up to the podium.
She sat very demurely with Joachim during the presentation.
She looked very pretty today, but she needs to lay off the tanning booth.
She may surprise us all with her abilities in the end ...

I recommend attending Danish lessons and changing your religion (which asks to attend teachings and passing an exam) while moving from one country to the next, preparing a wedding with a very official character and visiting as much of your new home country as possible. I wonder how much Danish (and it is definately a difficult language) you would be able to "grasp" under the circumstances.
As with all very busy people, Marie had to set priorities and I believe changing her faith, moving and organising her wedding is higher on that list. It would be on mine, to be honest. Language comes later when you actually live in that country. But she showed that she is serious about becoming a Danish citizen, IMHO.

I totally agree on both these points.
The tanning booth is not her friend; deep tans are unattractive and dated looking. (If she doesn't actually tan herself but has naturally dark skin, then my apologies.)
I think she will surprise us. She has something, I can't put my finger on it, but she is interesting--specifically, she says natural and insightful things. I don't think she worries too much about saying the wrong thing.
