Evening all! Thanks to Tracy Beaker for the new title!
Roll on some bling and style, though it may be a while!

They both look good! Feels like a bit of an anticlimax as I was expecting two truly bonkers outfits!

Same here! 😂 - I think the pre wedding outfits possibly misled us!

Is that their shared monogram on her veil?

They'll be wearing something wilder, more 'sexy and cool' tonight. I'm sure.

Did anyone else spot that Shaman Durek has their monogram embroidered on his sleeve?

Choux · 31/08/2024 20:53

The sleeves AND the veil. Good spot!

His trousers are too long though aren’t they? But they’re a good looking couple. It is interesting that the family chose to wear bunads to that extent. It’s something you can’t criticise but isn’t actually glam
or modern or Hollywood, so makes them look traditional and very family cohesive.

AllTangledUpInTitlesAndTiaras · 31/08/2024 21:12

Another lovely one.

And a better look at Mette-Marit's dress.

I can't quite work it out, is that a shawl, or is it like a sari?

AllTangledUpInTitlesAndTiaras · 31/08/2024 21:34

It's a shawl. The dress itself looks like this.

Thanks - that's unusual, it seems to be about four different patterns.

It's the battiest wedding since Rupert Murdoch's last one.

PoppySeedBagelRedux · 31/08/2024 22:03

Returning to GDMT I love her dress except for the weird black tie thing. A softer colour tie would have looked gorgeous.

I am not sure about having a second marriage wearing a full white dress and veil. Why not a more elegant and sophisticated dress, lovely though her dress and veil are? She, he and some of her bridesmaids look just a little old for their outfits, I hate to say.

I bet it was fun, though! 🤣

In an Alice in Wonderland way 🤣🤣

My mother would have tutted at the white dress, veil and church wedding 🤣

hopeishere · 01/09/2024 08:16

I would have thought they could have found somewhere better than a marquee to have the wedding in.

QueryA · 01/09/2024 08:28

That salsa video of them pre wedding, for a few seconds I thought she was dancing with ainslie hariot from can’t cook won’t cook! It’s the sort of moves that he used to break out! 💃 🕺🏽
but overall they do look very happy so I wish them the best. I hope the Swedish press are kind. The British press would have a field day!

QueryA · 01/09/2024 08:43

Apologies, meant Norwegian press! 🇳🇴

I think the train and veil in this photo are fake. If you scroll down the page there is another photo of their hands showing the wedding rings. Behind ML on the red carpet there is barely any train and veil.

There are also other photos of her walking down with Durek after the wedding and she has one of those train holders over her wrist. Again there isn't much fabric. In the group photo the train doesn't seem to connect to her dress either. It's fake.

Maireas · 01/09/2024 09:19

Strange. Why would they do that?

OP posts:
AllTangledUpInTitlesAndTiaras · 01/09/2024 09:26

Isn't it more likely that they removed the veil and train after the wedding to keep it from getting damaged? Or maybe the exclusivity contract with Hello prevents them from showing the complete outfit until all the coverage has been published.

AllTangledUpInTitlesAndTiaras · 01/09/2024 09:29

There are photos definitely showing her wearing the veil.

MotherofPearl · 31/08/2024 10:49

I'm afraid the more I read about ML and SD and their wedding, the more I think they are both genuinely unhinged.

You are not alone. 😀

Thank you to those posters who told me what all the Hs on the pink suit were.
I knew it was too tacky to be Hermes. 😀

Choux · 01/09/2024 09:46

Maireas · 01/09/2024 09:19

Strange. Why would they do that?

Because Hello wanted it to look more royal with a cathedral length train and veil? Maybe there were two veils and trains and they were swapped over for the walk and then swapped back for the group photo (unlikely but if you want to secure the $$$ you do what Hello want) but in these photos there does not appear to be such a long train and veil.
