The fun has begun!

[Anne]

Actually, French - and I guess all other European kids - are taught England's English at school, which is quite logical when you think of it . BBC's accent is something like the St Graal .

[Jody]

I just thought he'd have a Danish accent, whatever that sounds like!

[Shoesy]

What a precious bundle of joy! I wish I could give him a kiss on those little pink cheeks of his. His brother is quite a doll too. Denise, you must feel very blessed.

Oops! This was posted on the wrong thread. It was supposed to be on Denise's "Anniversary Boy" thread where she posted the photos of her darling grandchildren.

[geordy]

Denise..I've exalted you for helping to deliver your grandson(got to give Mom some credit! ;D) and for all the postings with pictures!

What a lucky baby!

Let us all have a splendid day..celebrating birthdays, being in Paris, watching Royal weddings, cleaning up messes with our beloved, reading the forum, celebrating new jobs ;)and here in the USA for Memorial Day,remembering those who gave their lives to keep this all possible for us!

Happy Anniversary my dear friends!!!
I am so glad SE sent me the link to this site all those months ago.
The people here are a fountain of information and some of the nicest people I know...

Plus you're the only ones that seem to understand the Paris addiction!

Hopefully I will be able to pop in later, but today is Spring Cleaning!

[GitteK]

Forget about babies and anniversaries !! I simply have to digress a bit - to show you how we celebrate the OPF day in Denmark !!

We are awaiting the BRIDE any minute now !! OMG !!!! just saw a glimpse of her in the dress !!!! Totally 1800-century style, with white Calais laces !!!
------------------------------------
While the royal familys confessionarius (vicar) is holding his wedding speech, you will be the first to see the bride, une vraie Parisienne, in a Swiss designed dress. The tiara is a gift from H.M. Queen Margrethe II, given to the future princess last night. A precious, costly item from the Queens private jewellery collection:
(Marie is holding on to her white veil, because it was almost blown away by the summer wind)



And the groom Joachim cried like a Wallace fountain and hugged his two small sons, when the bride came into the church......





So now they are duly married - - and we are having Schuberts "Ave Maria" sung by a Danish opera singer. Not a dry eye to be found in the worlds oldest kingdom.

[Becky (Berkeleytravelers)]

Penny, you have really outdone yourself! Thank you for brightening the pages this morning! (I will give you an exalt when my buttons show up again - sorry, but Denise's bundle of anniversary joy got my attention before I got to this thread . . . )

[Shoesy]

Gitte - Of course the groom Joachim cried . He knows that you told everyone on OPF that he's a dork, and you insulted him on his wedding day!

Penny - Thanks for the additional colorful images. You are getting your second exalt from me today. I'm sorry to hear about that family emergency, and I hope everything turns out O.K.

[ray]

Happy Anniversary to everyone. My wife's birthday today, and she is away until next Tues, so I will celebrate, anniversaries, birthdays, and babies with all of you.
Are we going to the chat room at the appointed hour?

[denise]

;D Oh My God!!!!!
Gitte how did you do that??
Almost LIVE pictures of a royal wedding!!!
This day just gets better. grandsons, anniversaries and now WEDDINGs, my favourite things!
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.
I hope they will be very happy. He can't be THAT much of a dork if he cried when he saw his bride.
I can't get over it! how HAVE you done it?
At the moment there is a furore going on in England because the Queen was in Hello magazine at her grandsons wedding! Not the done thng at all you know!
Exalts for gitte and also for Penny who has excelled herself with her online anniversary greetings. I think she should be our official greeting designer!

Denise AKA grndma
Love from England

[GitteK]

grndma denise - just "copy-paste" from our TV stations website, where they upload their pictures instantly.

Here's the kiss for you:

[Shoesy]

Now that's my favorite photo, Gitte. I'm a real softy when it comes to kisses :-*at weddings. (sigh!......just 39 days to my son's wedding! )

[GitteK]

And almost gone with the wind........



The haute couture dress is made of ivory coloured silk from the Loire valley and Calais laces.

OK ......... let's get back to celebrating OURSELVES !!!!!!! Woo-hoo....... soon champagne time !!

[Happygoin]

It sounds as big a deal in Denmark as the Charles and Diana thing in 1981. The whole country celebrates, then?

(Or is this just a good reason for a glass of Champagne on a Saturday afternoon for you, Gitte?? )

[GitteK]

Not at all, Happy - check out the videos:

Try the 3rd in the second row: "Joachim venter" - and see how sensitive we Danes really are.

[holger]

;D

Thanks Gitte,
That is one lovely wedding gown. Beautiful neckline and fabric. Wouldn't say no to the tiara, either.

Denise,
Congratulations on the grandchild.
and Andi,
Thanks for the anniversary card.

[Jody]

Lovely wedding photos. I looked up the prince to see if he was widowed or divorced and I found out his second name is HOLGER> Do we have a bit of roayl relations on OPF?

[denise]

:)Gitte, those wedding videos will keep me going for a long time.
Lovely dress, I'm not sure about the attendants though, they look like fugitives from Little house on the prairie! ;D
I'm getting very excited about THE hour. I don't know what I will do, have a toast in Tea I soppose and I think I will go to the supermarket for macaroons.
