Wow! Victoria looks AMAZING! That color is great on her and it's really nice to see some "style." Dennism, you must be thrilled!

Yes, I am thrilled but I was thrilled last week too despite the outfit. Those eyes. That smile. Here is the useless fact of the day from me:


The wedding cake weighs 170kg (375 pounds) and stands nearly two metres high (6.6 feet).

Did someone dee Queen Beatrix?

 

[Dennism]

What I had read someplace is that she and Queen Elizabeth left early to go to some wedding. Odd behavior. I mean we did not see QEII either so she never came. But we saw Beatrix last night.

Yes, Queen Beatrix left to attend the wedding of her godchild, Katherine Abel Smith, I think. It was on the Glittering Royal Message Board but I can't find the post.

They have put the unmarried people together. So that they can found a "nobody wants to marry us"-self-help group ?

wonderful dress the one which victoria wore! i loved her style today. from the royal youth i think she was the most well dressed one.

Just wanted to say great pics everybody! I missed out on watching everything this morning, so I was glad to be able to come home and see all fo the wonderful photos. Just a couple of thoughts from me:

1. Letizia and Felipe seem so tense and nervous. There was not as much of a display of affection as there was last week.

2. Is Felipe a mama's boy? I have seen a few photos of him clutching her hand as if holding on for dear life. That is sweet though. Sons should always love their mamas.

3. I loved her bouquet of flowers. I think I like her dress as well. I really liked the embroidery. Not so crazy about the top. It reminded me a bit of Mathilde's wedding dress. I really loved her veil. She wore her hair much like Mary's, which I hated, but I loved on Letizia.

4. I was a bit shocked at some of the outfits I saw. They were all of people I don't know, but yowza! Loved the dresses worn by Maxima and Marie-Chantal. I am actually quite proud of Laurentein's dress. I was expecting the worse from her. Hated the outfit and hair by Clothilde. And to think, I actually complemented her earlier in the week.

1. Yes, very true.

2. Well, I am sure he is to some degree.

3 Did you see the upclose photo of the bouquet that I posted earlier?

4. Well, Clothilde´s best outfit of the past two weeks was at Cannes. Hot and cold, you might say.

yes I did see the photo of the bouquet, thank you.

I agree, her best outfit was at Cannes. I'd say way more cold than hot. The only times I have ever really liked her style was last week at Cannes, and on her wedding day.

That is hilarious. I wonder why he was kicking is sister. It's good to see that even royal children have the same tendancies as us common folk. Oh, I'll bet Elena was so embarrassed.

Hilarious, Lena! What a find!

It seems that of all the children involved in today's wedding, Froilan was the handful. (Reminds me a bit of Nikolai at his uncle's wedding last week.) I'm sure that Victoria gave as good as she got though; she seems like the kind of little girl who would go tit for tat with you. My goddaughter is the same way; she looks sweet and angelic on the exterior but pull her ponytail and she'll fight back!

Cristina's children seem much less rambunctious than Elena's children.

Was Letizia's step-mother present? Didn't see her in any of the pictures yet or any of the official portraits.

Astrid and Lorenz

Astrid sure likes these "double" hats. She wore something similar to this to Willem and Maxima's wedding didn't she? Only they were straw hats then?

Just an additional note: Thank you to everybody who worked so hard to post all these pictures and articles. I don't want to name names because I know I would miss names, but I and I'm sure all of our members greatly appreciate the time and effort put into this.

For those who couldn't watch the live stream and for those who simply like to look at the pictures and ponder the fashion choices afterwards, we are all very thankful and appreciative.
