Isabella og Christian til globryllup (*) - Isabella and Christian to gawking-wedding.
Written by Annelise Weimann.
Last weekend a well-known badminton player in DK, Tine Rasmussen, was married at Fredensborg palace church.
Nothing unusual about that, except that the couple was driven in a horsedrawn carriage with two black horses. - All within wiewing distance of Kancellihuset, (150 meters to be exact) where Mary, Bella and Christian had just just returned from a bicycle ride. Dadday Frederik was presumed sleeping after having sailed around the Island of Funen in a race, - and won.
Now, horses, carriage, dresses and what not, that can make any little girl stop in her tracks, even a genuine Princess like Isabella: "Look mum, look", she was heard shouting.
Okay, we'll look for a while. Bella was fascinated, Christian was interested too, but had to burn off some more energy by jumping up and down a bit. - And Mary? Well, like any mother I guess she was just patient.
After a while she called for the children to come inside. No way! This horse-stuff was much more interesting. Eventually the children did go inside with Mary.
(*) Globryllup. = People looking at or even attending a wedding out of curiosity. A common expression in Danish. And by definition a considerable percentage of the members of this forum will go to "globryllup", when Victoria and Daniel gets married later this month. - As such the word is neutral.
You may have noticed that Frederik turned 42 recently and Billed Bladet did indeed plant a reporter outside Kancellihuset to observe what went on during the day.

Børnene vækkede mig med gaver - The children woke me up with presents.
Written by the Ulrik Ulriksen.
Our reporter caught up with Frederik when he left Hotel Marriott after the opening of the International Lawyers Conference and asked: How were you celebrated this morning?
F: "As you are when you have good/nice children". And explained how Christian and Bella had tiptoed in early in the morning and said congratulations. With them they brought presents which daddy of course had to open at once.
"It was really cosy and I got some nice presents. A bit of clothes and stuff like that, but also some drawings the children had made themselves".
But there were also adult well wishers. At 19.30 sharp fourteen close friends of the CP-couple arrived. Caroline Heering and her husband. Christian Buchwald and wife. Jeppe Handwerk and wife. Julie Mølsgaard and Christoffer Carstienskiold and Ellen Hillingsø. To mention some of them.
After a welcoming drink in the garden, (our reporter must have patrolled around the house), it was time for a dinner.
QMII dropped by Kancellihuset during the day to say congratulations. In the evening she went to the opera. There is no mentioning of Prince Henrik, so I guess he isn't at home.
