Swedish princess marries commoner Daniel Westling
June 19th, 2010 - 9:20 pm ICT by IANSStockholm, June 19 (DPA) A radiant Swedish Crown Princess Victoria Saturday married Daniel Westling in Stockholm Cathedral.
“Yes” the duo loudly said when Archbishop Anders Wejryd, one of the four officiating clergy, asked them to confirm their vows.
Among the 1,000 guests were royals from all over the world, the presidents of Finland and Iceland, and other dignitaries.
The couple met in 2002 when Westling, now 36, was the princess’ fitness trainer. They were engaged in February 2009.
Victoria, 32, was escorted to the church by her father, King Carl Gustaf, and wore a cream-coloured wedding dress.
After the ceremony, the newlyweds were to ride in an open horse-drawn carriage through the city. Tens of thousands of people have lined the procession route, which is also lined by thousands of soldiers and homeguards.
