Princess Madeleine of Sweden and Chris O'Neill's royal wedding: 

The best moments It was certainly a day to remember, Princess Madeleine of Sweden married her US financier love, Chris O'Neill in a splendid ceremony in Stockholm's royal chapel. The radiant bride stepped out in a stunning silk gown, complete with ivory-coloured Chantilly lace, by Italian fashion maestro Valentino that moved her Chris to tears as he saw her walking down the aisle.

The crowd was made up of a host of royal guests. Out in force to support their fellow Scandinavian royal were Prince Frederik, Princess Mary, Princess Marie and Prince Joachim from Denmark and Norway's representatives, Prince Haakon, Princess Mette-Marit, Princess Märtha Louise and her husband Ari Behn.

Flying the flag for Great Britain were Prince Edward and his wife Sophie, Countess of Wessex who chose a floor-length pale pink gown and glittering tiara for the occasion.

During the moving wedding ceremony, Madeleine's adorable niece Estelle sat patiently in her own miniature chair, watched over by her proud parents Prince Daniel and Princess Victoria, who married in the same church in 2010.

Once the vows were said and the rings exchanged, Madeleine and Chris treated the excited crowds of well-wishers to not one, but three romantic kisses before heading on their waterfront carriage procession.


As the carriage drew up to S/S Stockholm it was time for the newlyweds to let their hair down. Princess Madeleine showed off her glorious dress once again as she and Chris joined their guests for drinks on board and a dinner at Drottningholm Palace.

After months of waiting the eve of Princess Madeleine's royal wedding finally arrived. 

The bride-to-be sparkled in a silver Elie Saab gown and her sister Princess Victoria chose a dove grey dress with an asymmetrical hemline by British designer Jenny Packham for the pre-wedding dinner hosted by the ladies' parents, King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia. 


Madeleine and Chris' high profile guests joined them at the Grand Hotel in Stockholm for the dinner.
