IT''S THE BIG DAY AT LAST!
Just woke up in time to see the Queen in the Bragnaca and Princess Madeline in the Connaught...I think that is a first for her. Now I''m 100% certain that Victoria will wear the Cameo I''m going to throw my gown and tiara on as guests are arriving! And here comes the groom! He looks quite handsome, but I wish he wasn''t wearing his glasses. Why not contacts? |

Okay, I''m crying...
![]() The looks on their faces during their vows was so sweet...full of care and confidence in one another. They had a little trouble with the rings but i looks hot there (a few guests are fanning themselves. So sweet how Victoria reached up and touched his cheek after the vows. Looks like Prince Daneil (!) got a little teary eyed too...he had to wipe his own check a little. I also saw the 4 button Swedish tiara and the Napolenonic amythst in a back row. Queen Anne Marie has the ruby floral on. Madeline looks a bit pensive, which is quite understandable. Carl Phillip''s look almost says "I can''t believe my sister is married!" I also saw some guests in traditional Swedish attire! |

What was with the envelope that the priest handed Daniel, which he in turn handed to Prince Carl Phillip? The official paperwork saying theiy''re married? The official paperwork calling him Prince?
How cute how the king was batting papers at the bridesmaids and pages as they passed him. I love the little human touches! |

I just herd Kronprinsessan Victoria och Princz Daniel! A wonderful ceremony I must say! There are many tiara/jewellery surprises and I''m quite happy.
The bride, of courese, is wearing the Cameo tiara, earrings and bracelet!, while her mother The Braganca tiara and the pink topazes of Queen Victoria (my personal guess). Unforunately there are two majour disappiontmants - Spain and Bulgaria. The Queen of Spain appeared (IMO) underbejewelled with the shell tiara, while her daughter Cristina is wearing the Pearl Cartier tiara. I guess they mixes tiaras The other spanish ladies (Leti & Elena) look good with their respective tiaras. Bulgaria - why on earth aren''t they wearing tiaras? Both Margarita and Rosario opted for diamond brooches - again an underbejewellement, saddly.The good surprises include the bride''s sister with Sibylla''s tiara and Victorria''s pearl/sapphire necklace; Martha-Louse of Norway with the amethysts of her SIL, the small version of the pearl tiara for Mette-Marit; the fringe from Liechtenstein, etc. Sophie''s necklace is also nice, I think it''s on loan from The Queen. Ohhh, they are sooo RADIANT!!! I wish the Crown Princess couple a long and happy marriage, blesse with little princes and princesses! Long may they live! |

How could I forgot Rania with her diamond bracelet/bandeau? Another person that disappointed me (and I guess others). The other Jordanian royal sure had mare jewels on!
The presenter called him Prins Daniel Westlin, hertug av V. Why is he Prince Daniel Westling? Shouldn''t his title be HKH Prins Daniel av Sverige, Hertug av V.? Or was she wrong? And now he''s wearing the Seraphim! Bobby |

And there''s the kiss! Not waiting for to appear on a balcony later! Right there on the church steps!
I wish there had been more people to greet them as they came out of the church...cheering crowds? Looks like the streets are pretty narrow so I guess there just wasn''t room? Maybe as they get out in streets in the carriage. |

Now heading to the 'ride' with the Royal Barge! That's going to be a sight indeed!
I wonder if they presented the flower children with jewels? I know Krederik and Mary did... MJ, don't worry! There are enough pople wanting to great TRH. Look at the cortege and all the pople gathered. ETA - In a previous post I forgot to say that The King's sisters also surprised me quite a lot! They wore the Nine prong tiara (Birgitta), the amethysts (Desiree), the 6 buttons (Christina) and of coure the biggest surpris was the Aquamarine kokoshnik on Margareta's head! The sisters made my day! |

The more I sit here and think about it, the more I love this boat idea. It is just the two of them...no crowds on the water, the rowers (who I must say are astonishing with their precision) are on the other side of the enlcosed area...there''s just the one naval guy standing behind them. This is some of the best privacy they are going to get all day!

Hey Bobby, talk to me about orders. If someone has been given a Swedish order (i.e. Seraphim) then they should be wearing it today, right? I see the CP couples of Denmark and Norway are wearing the light blue sashes for Princes and the blue with yellow for Princess. But the Earl of Wessex is wearing the Garter sash (what would Sophie''s be? Just as the wife of a Knight of the Garter) If one hasn''t been given a Swedish order, you wear the order of your own country?
