Märtha Louise and shaman Durek Verrett's wedding has become a super snack in both Norwegian and international media. When they got married on Saturday in Geiranger, it was not without some hassle.

The ceremony was supposed to take place at 13, but Märtha Louise did not arrive until an hour and a half later, according to Norwegian media.

Hid

The guests made their way to the wedding under great secrecy since the photo rights had been sold to British celebrity magazine Hello Magazine and its Spanish sister magazine Hola, as well as the TV rights to Netflix.

On Norwegian TV2, however, the princess was seen ducking under a white sheet intended to hide her from photographers.

After the wedding ceremony in a tent in Geiranger, the guests and the bridal couple have now arrived at Hotel Union where the wedding party is taking place. Märtha Louise waved to the crowd outside in a white wedding dress with a veil, while Durek Verrett wore a black tailcoat with a bow tie and a cummerbund in gold-beige.

Since the theme of the wedding is "pink", he also wore a rose in his buttonhole, and Märtha Louise's bouquet consisted of the same type of flowers.

350 guests

This year's most talked-about wedding took place in the picturesque Geiranger in western Norway in front of 350 guests, including Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel, and Prince Carl-Philip and Princess Sofia.

Samí artist Fred Buljo, known from the group Keiino, performed a joik during the ceremony.

A joik fits all occasions, that's the magic of joik, he says to Dagbladet.

According to information to the newspaper, Märtha Louise was led to the altar by her and her late ex-husband's daughter Maud Angelica Behn, 21 years old.

Since Thursday

The hymns "Amazing grace" and "Open the eyes of my heart, Lord" were sung by the bridal couple and guests together, then Märtha Louise's brother Crown Prince Haakon read an excerpt from the Bible, according to Norwegian media.

The festivities have been going on since Thursday, when a welcome party with dress code "sexy and cool" was held in Ålesund.

Although the interest in the wedding has been great, it has not been covered or broadcast like royal weddings usually are due to copyright reasons.
