Big weekend this one. On saturday Swedens prince Carl Philip will marry his bride Sofia. A girl very much from the people. Real fairytale stuff. Big celebration in the whole of stochholm with the couple riding in a horsedrawn carriage around stockholm and waving and hearing the peoples greetings. Also canons will shoot a salut (i think its called?) I'm not much of a royalist myself but as long as they don't really have much power, other than as symbols, i can live with them.

First I'd heard of it here. They're a great looking couple. They break the stereotypical mold that most Americans think of in terms of all Swedes being blonde and blue-eyed.

View attachment 10197 I did a Google image search for prince Carl Philip: Yowza! He's a cutie!
The two princesses are not bad either, Victoria and Madeleine, older and younger sisters to Carl Philip.
