Get me to the church on time!


This Saturday, 6/13, Prince Carl Philip will marry his love Sofia Hellqvist at the Palace's Royal Chapel.  It was "love at first sight" says Sofia of the dapper prince, and he concurs.  Interesting fact, she was quite the pin-up before their nuptials having been in an erotic model and former reality star.

But at age 30 she's ready to settle down and bygones are bygones for the young couple who just want to do good and design glassware (or whatever it is young second-to-the-throne types do).  Avicii and Icona Pop will play at the wedding, it should be a grand old time! DJ Avicii to play at the wedding
On the National Day, 6/6, Sofia dressed in the old-timey Swedish garb and stood in line with the future in-laws.  The article avows that the "couldn't take their eyes off of one another."  Even dressed like this? ;-)

I had fun studying this photo --- Crown Princess Victoria is always smiley and Daniel seems to be OK doing his part, the Princess Madeleine is heavily pregnant with her child and probably pretty nonplussed about having to dress like a Swedish milkmaid.  Ha, ha!  Queen Sylvia is doing her best, as always, with the repugnant philandering King (don't believe me? read this) by her side and it seems she's still ruling the roost.  Front and center as it befits her.
