I'd really love to know what the music is in the second video fanprincipeasturi posted in post #154 above. Does anyone know? I'd love to find similar music. Thanks.

I fell in love with Grieg's "To Spring" (Varen) the way it was performed at the wedding. Unfortunately, the video that is linked above has expired. Does anybody have a clip of the wedding that I could save?

I have to agree with Tamar, and it is not because I can't appreciate the elegance of the era. Silvia's dress was too big, it was extremely unflattering, and it made her look bulky and dowdy. It did look a bit like a nun's robe because the cut was so unfeminine. Queen Margrethe and Queen Sonja...

I think it's very sweet that Joachim helped design the ring and even put a bit of nationalism into the design, but the ring is godawful. Like if I were Marie, I would be right now trying to figure out how to get rid of it. My recommendation: choose a wedding ring that is so big it can't be...
