The Norwegian royal family recently celebrated the wedding of Princess Märtha Louise and her new husband Durek Verretton. The wedding party shared a touching photo from their big day, showing the bride and groom surrounded by the Norwegian royal family, their wedding party, and Märtha Louise’s three daughters – Maud, Leah, and Emma. The photo also included other royal guests such as Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden, her husband Prince Daniel, and her brother Prince Carl Philip and his wife Princess Sofia.
In the photograph, Märtha Louise, 52, looked stunning in her Tina Steffenakk Hermansen wedding dress, complete with a 3.5 metre-long train, while Durek, dressed in a black tuxedo with a gold cummerbund and tie knot, gave a nod to 1700s court dress. The couple exchanged vows in front of their 350 guests in a majestic setting with the fjords as a backdrop. The wedding was followed by a three-day celebration, including a boat trip along the Geiranger Fjord and a Latin American-themed pre-wedding party at Hotel Union.
Prior to their nuptials, Märtha Louise had decided not to get married again, but meeting Durek in 2018 changed her mind. She saw marriage as a way to seal their closeness and elevate the energy in their relationship. Durek, 49, viewed marriage as a spiritual commitment, a declaration of love before family, friends, and God. He sought permission from Märtha Louise’s parents, King Harald and Queen Sonja, as a sign of respect. Their warm welcome and acceptance of Durek into the family added to the joy of the occasion.
