so exciting, what a day for felipe and letizia! they must be thrilled, but surely they are also a bit nervous. felipe looks like he will make a great king, although i'm hoping he doesn't become as megalomanic as his father as time goes by...
leonor and sofia are adorable, so well behaved and so cute. i loved their little matching dresses although sofia's didn't fit very well. letizia obviousl looked amazing in that dress and coat. just perfect.
the dresses were made by two ladies from where letizia comes from, oviedo. she got introduced to them by a friend from her from oviedo. the article below explains that letizia's directions were that the dresses had to be simple and had to have french sleeves and that "she had to have them on tuesday".

After receiving the sash the King went onto kiss his family and then Infanta Elena curtsied and Felipe de Marichalar bowed to him ..
Btw, Leonor and Sofia are looking very cute.
elena and her family are really quite something, they are all so prim and proper! i also really liked that jaime de marichalar was invited, even though him and elena are divorced, jaime is certainly very appreciated in the family (clearly more than iñaki, although that's not hard to beat!)
some fun anecdotes of the ceremony:
