I have just received an email saying at I have been a ebay member for 2 years now.
Today the crown princess Victoria of Sweden got her prince, Mr. Daniel Westling, a common man until 3:30 PM today, now Duke of Västergötland, Prince of Sweden, and His Royal Highness.
In all Scandinavian countries people forgot ongoing Football World Cup for one day, all major networks in all four Scandinavian countries showing the festivities all day long. Please don't tell anyone, I don't want people to know I'm not so macho as I pretend to be, but I watched the wedding tears in my eyes. Simply, it was so absolutely beautiful!
We Finns have really close relations to Sweden, being part of Kingdom of Sweden until 1809. We Finns feel Swedish royal family is like our own, royalties we don't have as the only republic in Scandinavia. Personally I'm not a supporter of monarchy, but as long as it exists in different countries, I find it refreshing that Swede's have so modern, example giving royal family.
Besides, IMO crown princess Victoria is a very beautiful woman :)

I have to say that he's quite handsome, according to Scandinavian women's magazines extremely handsome.
BTW, as I mentioned we Finns have very close relations with Sweden. In fact so close and special that in this official wedding photo the President of Finland, Mrs. Tarja Halonen and his husband are the only persons not being members of European royal houses or family members . Mrs. Halonen is the redhead, front row left, and the hubby stands behind her.
Yes that sounds about right Robert, my daughter does the same thing now she has the babies, saying now she realises just what I went through or how I knew something as that is just how she is feeling.
Doesn't it feel nice to be right every so often and have your children admit it
The saying my children know me for is " I don't always like them but I'll always love them " :)
