EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph captures the moment of joy and radiance as Prince Olaf of Norway (1903-1991) exchanges vows with his beloved bride, Princess Marthe of Sweden (1901-1954), during their royal wedding on March 25, 1929. The couple's union marked the first time a Swedish princess had married a Norwegian prince, and their nuptials were celebrated with great fanfare and international attention. Princess Marthe, resplendent in her bridal gown, dazzled the crowd with her ethereal beauty. Her wedding dress, designed by the renowned Swedish couturier, Elsa Schiaparelli, was a vision of elegance and sophistication. The dress, adorned with intricate beadwork and embroidery, was a true masterpiece of the time. However, it was the bride's exquisite veil of silver lace that truly stole the show. The delicate lace veil, which cascaded down from the crown of her head, added an air of regal grace to the young princess. The Duke of York, who was a close cousin of the groom, proudly served as best man during the ceremony. The joyous occasion brought together the Norwegian and Swedish royal families, as well as dignitaries and guests from around the world. The newlyweds' union was a testament to the strong bonds of friendship and cooperation between the two Scandinavian countries. This beautiful photograph, taken on the day of their wedding, captures the essence of a magical moment in history and serves as a reminder of the enduring power of love and the beauty of royal tradition.
