Lena said:I guess the "problem" is the fact, that she is dating this guy for about 5-6 years and nothing happened so far. I guess many ppl have the feeling, and have seen in their lives often, that very long dating doesn´t end in marriages anymore, just as not many ppl marry within 1 year up from the day they met. There seems to be an average dating time of 2-4 years. Of course there are many exceptions.
Maxima got engaged within 2 years, Letizia within 1. Victoria and Daniel are killing all statistics...that is making things confusing.
If they would get engaged soon and would marry in 2008 or 2009 (even though the thought of waiting another 2 years is so zzzzzzzz), things would be still ok. But if it would go on and would then break apart, things could get tight for Victoria. Then she would be 32 and would be on search.
I see your point Lena but remember that Maxima was in her late-20s when she met WA and Letizia was in her 30s when she met Felipe. Victoria is now only a year older than Maxima was when she met WA. Perhaps she wants to wait until she is older to get married.Lena said:I guess the "problem" is the fact, that she is dating this guy for about 5-6 years and nothing happened so far.

Actually both Mathilde and Mette-Marit was in their mid-late twentys when they marriedAlisa said:I was thinking about that recently. The recent batch of crown princess have all married when in their early 30s (31-33). Victoria even has a few more years, although I don't think that Lena would stand for that.

I dont know if that is swedish tradition but imo its the best way. A woman isnt someones "property" and when the father "gives her" to the man she is about to marry atleast I get those vibesCissan said:I really hope that Victoria and Daniel will enter the church together in accordance with Swedish tradition! (Silvia And Carl Gustaf did it that way, right?)
I must say, that the idea with the national day crossed my mind too. A glittering wedding could maybe help this somewhat "neglected" day a bit. With being refered to a happening very far back in history and with even having not been a holiday (helgdag) for many years, it surely could need some "help"Hans-Rickard said:They are also looking for a traditional-date when the heir apparent in the family are going to marry and the only date next year (offcourse on a saturday) when it has been a family-wedding before is Fredriks and Ingrids wedding-date 24th May. But offcourse, it can be another date to.
Saturday 7th June would be good. It is the national-day here the 6th June so it would be a national party two days long.
Carl Gustafs and Silvias 19th June is on a thursday next year so we can forget this date.
No I´m pretty sure that Daniel will "only" be att the private parties at Borgholm this year to. Offcourse he can be somewhere in the public with friends but not together with the royal family.
Now I don't want you to freak out but remember a certain Lilian and Bertil.... perhaps Victoria wants to continue the family tradition . It wuld be a nice excuse to see Daniel dancing the Can Can or something simular too (didn't Lilian start out as a dancer/entertainer in a nightclub?Yes, they could marry in 2070...and if then one 2 years later would die from a weak heart, the surviving one could at least say, that they led a happy marriage without divorce
I guess, it surely would be adviced to give the more active part as gym manager up...and I hope someone told him that. Daniel Collert told once, that it was said to him, he could work then (as Royal) with documentaries etc. I guess this surely wouldn´t have worked out in the end.Marengo said:Wouldn't Daniel be giving up his carreer when he marries the crownprinces? All the other prince-consorts in the past certainly did.

Lena said:Yes, Daniel doing a bit of "dirty dancing"...very nice idea (and imo the movie is so fitting for their story)
