Well, they've been together for many years - that's a good sign.

The Swedish Crown Princess Victoria is set to tie the knot with Daniel Westling, her former personal trainer, in the country's long-awaited royal wedding.
More than 1,000 guests, including royalties from around the world, were expected to attend the ceremony in Stockholm Cathedral on Saturday.
Security was tight in the capital, with 7,000 security personell deployed, the biggest security operation ever in the Scandinavian country.
The future queen's relationship with Westling, a commoner from a small town, has been under close scrutiny since it got known to the public eight years ago.

Westling will bring some real Swedish DNA into the royal gene pool. The Royal Family is French in origin with dashes of German and Peruvian.

Her father’s side was the Hanoverians and her mother was German. With her marriage to Albert changed the family line to Saxe-Coburg Gotha although renamed Windsor during WW I.
Marshall Bernadotte.
That's been pretty much the rule since "the Family" was founded way back when by Hugh Capet.
ALL of these people are multiply descended from French royalty ~ even the commoners.
Not that it's a "rule" but it's kind of hard to escape the problem.
A lot of brides walk themselves up the aisle, due to absent fathers, or just being older when they get married, or on their second marriage.
My brothers walked me up the aisle, since my father was deceased, but that’s not an issue for Crown Princess Victoria.
One time, I saw a bride walk up with both her parents. Her view was that she was acknowledging both their contributions in raising her and preparing her for marriage.
Looks like she is flipping everyone the bird! lol

Does she know her hubby is secretly Superman?
I just hope her and her ‘Escort’ don’t have a son together and name him Pinto!
That German prince was Queen Victoria’s first cousin....
Are you sure?....Queen Victoria’s mother’s brother was father to Prince Albert.
So this gentleman is marrying a future queen and he can’t even wear a suit that fits?
Yikes.
Still, the family may have known something that was never made public.
... Aren’t you glad that our Founding Fathers had the sense to throw these idiots out!
I shudder to think that Prince Charles of England could be in charge of anything of greater importance than his garden shrubs!
Diana Spencer was from a very aristocratic family.
Victoria & Albert were FIRST COUSINS — but on her mother’s side, not on the Hanover side. Her mother was of minor German nobility. Albert’s father, (her mother’s brother) was the Duke or Prince of Sax-Coburg, in what is now eastern Germany.
Actually in the Jewish weddings it’s both parens.
