Rewind: The Wedding of Prince Joachim and Mlle Marie Agathe Odile Cavallier

Lille Athena's christening this week has led to a request for the Billed Bladet scans from her parents' marriage ceremony in Møgeltønder on 24 May 2008. Great idea, dear commenter! How about a little walk down memory lane?

(Click here for the BB scans from Victoria's wedding, if lille Elle's christening did the same thing for you regarding her parents' very royal and romantic wedding.)

Rebecca and Johan Wedell-Wedellsborg. They were the ones who hosted the dinner with Mary and Rigmor Zobel both present that got Mary in tons of hot water. Johan also had his 40th birthday party in Verbier with both Mary and Fred flying in with other aristos.

Schackenborg secretary Trine Ellemann who said of Marie, "she is fantastically lovely, and she and Joachim get on terribly well."

Fred getting emotional seeing Marie walk up the aisle. Joachim was breaking down at about the same time. Note how Madam's face just looks critical and judgmental.
