It is impossible to be in Stockholm and not notice that Royal Wedding Frenzy has taken over our beautiful city. Be it the road-blocks, the abundance of floral decorations, the LOVE 2010 festival, the police escorts or the mention of our Crown Princess and her Prince-to-be in every form of media possible, both online and off.
Newspapers, magazines, radio stations, bloggers and advertisers love this topic whether it be the chaos, the cost, their new home, the 700 guests, monarch versus republic, the dress or the weather. And over the last week or so every gathering I’ve been at, either through work or privately, has conversed on the subject of the Crown Princess.
Whether you are a monarchist, mildly interested or more of an anti-royalist the consensus is, everyone wishes her well. From those who have met her, to those who have just seen her wave to the crowds or her face in the tabloids, she is well liked.
And I bet everyone in Stockholm wakes up this morning and breaths a sigh of relief, for Victoria. Yesterday’s storms with their thunder and lightening have been swept away and left a beautiful sunny day in their place.
Have a perfect wedding day Victoria!
