Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden, heir to the country's throne, married her former personal trainer, the gym owner Daniel Westling today at Stockholm Cathedral.
About 250,000 people lined the streets of Stockholm as the country celebrated its ‘fairytale royal wedding’.
The couple exchanged vows in front of nearly 1,000 royals and dignitaries from across the world while four ministers conducted the service.
The princess, 32, who wore an ivory silk, off-the-shoulder gown designed for her by Par Engsheden, met Westling, 36, eight years ago when she joined his Stockholm gym. When the couple’s relationship became public, he was mocked as an outsider with a country accent.
Victoria is also 196th in line to the British throne through her father, a third cousin of the Queen. Prince Edward, the Earl of Wessex, and his wife Sophie, wearing a grey silk dress with cape, represented the British Royal Family. They were among a host of European royals there.
