Royal wedding in Oslo, Norway. Today, August 25th, Crown Prince Haakon of Norway married his fiancée Mette-Marit Tjessem Hoiby at Oslo Domkirke (Cathedral). Among the invited guests were many European royals. Much speculation and discussion have preceded this wedding: Mette-Marit has not lived the quiet and reserved life formerly expected of a royal bride-to-be - she has a son, Marius, from a previous relationship, and she has also confessed to taking drugs in her youth.The official wedding pictures were taken in the Lille Festsal and Fuglevaerelset (the Bird Room) in the Royal Palace. Seen here are Haakon and Mette-Marit with their parents, Sven O. Hoiby and Marit Tjessem, King Harald and Queen Sonja; and Princess Martha Louise of Norway.
