There is love in the air in Stockholm!

Tomorrow, on Saturday June 19, the Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden will wed Daniel Westling, her former personal trainer, a commoner from the small village of Ockelby. Initially, the King, her father, Carl XVI Gustav, and the royal court did not approve of this relationship but Victoria, as it has turned out, is a true romantic and insisted that the boy from the little village in central Sweden was indeed her soul mate. She proved her commitment by stubbornly holding on to the love of her life for eight years until everyone finally gave in to her wishes and approved of their engagement. However, Daniel will have to settle with the title of Prince, as Victoria will not allow him to bear the King title. Go Girl!

The ceremony will take place at Storkyrkan (the royal church) in Gamla Stan (The Old Town) right next to the Royal Palace where the banquet will later take place.

Dignitaries from all over will all be in attendance. Denmarks Prince Frederick and his lovely wife Mary, Norway’s Haakon and his lovely wife Mette-Marit and Prince Nikolaos of Greece and his fiancée Tatiana Blatnik, who are thought to be planning their own wedding for 2011 will all be in attendance.



The Royal wedding and the city of Stockholm with it’s LOVE theme has made what some people call the Paris of the north, a major destination during the month of June for both Swedes and foreigners alike who wants to join in the celebration.

If you want to watch the royal wedding tomorrow you can watch it online at http://svt.se/detkungligabrollopet, starting at 6 am pacific time.
