Why I had to get a new computer, or the royal wedding
Come now, did you think I'd fail you?
On Saturday, Princess Madeleine of Sweden married Christopher O'Neill of Britain and the United States. I missed it live because of the lack of computer, but like Crown Princess Victoria's it is on the Swedish TV website for a little bit, so I did get to see it. It was lovely (and mostly in English).
But of course, we need pictures. So here we go.

What is Swedish tradition then?
Also, I like Princess Estelle's grumpy face. :)
she's not grumpy, she's studying. she often looks quite serious, but i think it's because she's really smart and is taking it all in, considering things and figuring stuff out.
and in sweden the couple walks down the aisle together.
oh, and i like mette-marit's dress
actually, that in white might be in the running for my wedding dress
So he is not a "prince"...how can he just choose not to be a prince? Isn't he in line for the throne now?
she's 4th in line for the throne. he has turned down any title because he would have to take Swedish citizenship and give up being a leader in business, neither of which he wants to do. I would guess if she became queen, that would change, although, I don't know all the rules. seeing as it's just a figurehead position, he could maybe be consort to the queen? though considering she'd have to move back to Sweden (they live in new York), he'd have to join her, so he'd probably get citizened and titled at that point.
I'm glad I'm not royalty. Or in love with royalty.
LOVE Princess Victoria's dress! But maybe a bit too much for a wedding guest?
I forgot to mention...I loved his face as he watched he walk down the aisle...made me want to cry!
Victoria's dress - it is lovely. i guess when you're the crown princess and at a royal wedding, you can wear whatever you want. (though i think i would've shortened the train.)
christopher's face - :)
i think you've said this before, but scandinavian royalty (well, most of them - isn't there one exception?) have class.
and i love victoria's dress
the norweigan crown princess, and by extension her husband. i just have to hope that ten years or whatever it is later, she's finally learned the importance of her position and classed up. (i don't hear about them so much, so i can't tell you for sure. i do know that at victoria's wedding i was surprised that after over 5 years no one had taught her good posture.) hopefully they're alright now.
actually, i think after everything, the people have accepted her now, so there we go. i don't mean to sound catty.
