After Sweden's Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel were forced to deny divorce rumours, look back at their controversial royal wedding decision in 2010.
Nichola Murphy After Sweden's Crown Princess Victoria and her husband Prince Daniel were forced to deny divorce rumours, we've taken a look back at their royal wedding – and how it broke with tradition.For their nuptials on 19 June 2010 at Stockholm Cathedral, Victoria controversially walked down the aisle at Stockholm Cathedral accompanied by her father King Carl XVI Gustaf. Swedish tradition dictates the bride and groom walk down the aisle together as a symbol of equality.
The head of the Swedish church, Archbishop Anders Wejryd, who married the couple, even shared a statement that read:"Being given away is a new phenomenon which occasionally occurs in the Church of Sweden. I usually advise against it, as our marriage ceremony is so clear on the subject of the spouses’ equality. The couple know where I stand on this matter.
Regardless, the royal looked stunning in a wedding dress designed by Pär Engsheden, which included a V-shaped back, an off-the-shoulder neckline and an A-line skirt. She had a five-metre train that was attached at the waist of her dress while her gold tiara was actually the same one Queen Silvia wore to her wedding in 1976.Victoria and her personal trainer Daniel Westling got engaged in 2009, with the royal proudly showing off her white gold ring with a round diamond solitaire.
