Princess Estelle was the best part of that wedding. I'm glad they brought her (and didn't freak out when she made a few baby noises).
I don't like the looks of that husband. And I'm not sensing that her family is too thrilled either. I think 5-6 years is about the most this marriage will last, but I wouldn't be shocked if it were a lot less than that.
And Charlene looked miserable during the ceremony too, in a "Look at how miserable I am, everyone!" way. My sympathy for her may dry up if she continues like this. At this point, she can get out if she wants to, she just needs to do it.

I actually don't mind Chris. I think his weird look is a combo of his natrual face looking grouchy (I have the same problem) and his nerves about marrying royalty. It comes off as he's marrying Madeleine despite her being a princess instead of because of it.
Also, except for Victoria and Daniel I don't find the Swedish Royal Family warm, and I don't think the King and Queen have a happy marriage, so that might be part of it.
I will say Madde looked lovely, and I loved how Chris cried during the ceremony. Also, I hated CP Mary's outfit and loved Martha Louise, which is a little strange.

I thought her dress was pretty. Understated, but pretty. Fitting, since she's no longer the party princess.
I thought it was sweet as well when he cried. I think he is marrying Madeleine for herself and not for the crown. He didn't take a title or anything. He kept his citizenship. He knows they are going to go back to being Chris & Madde after this day, only popping up in Sweden when required.
I doubt Charlene will ever have a child with Albert. I doubt they'll last much longer. Or she could be pregnant & suffering from morning sickness. Who knows.

I agree, I thought he looked like a douche before but I changed my opinion after watching this. I thought he was cute afterward when he was encouraging one more kiss in front of the crowd. Still looks a lot older than 38.
I didn't see any British royals. Don't they trot out Edward & Sophie for other royal weddings?

Edward and Sophie were there, I saw a picture of them leaving their hotel.

King Carl Gustaf has been under quite a few scandals, like how he's been caught in stripclubs, enjoying a few privileges there, and having affairs. One alleged mistress was a well known singer who came out about their fling not so long ago, so the Swedes have had it with him and wouldn't mind if Victoria took his place.

I wonder what the parties are really like. Do Mary & Frederik bust a move on the dance floor while Charlene skulks in the corner with a glass of champagne?
I wish Stephanie from Luxemborg had worn a color.

I wish Stephanie from Luxemborg had worn a color. Luxemburg has one of the best Tiara collections ever and she wore the most boring one of the bunch. Speaking of tiara's (which I enjoy) I was kind of glad Madeleine wore something other than the cameo. Not that I don't like the cameo, but I don't know if she could pull it off the way Victoria did.

I saw only a few photos of the arrivals...does anyone know of a site where they have more? I always love seeing the fashion choices of the privileged class.

The Royal Forums should have all kinds of stuff. I actually haven't looked at any of it yet because it's a little bit TOO much.
