Crown Princess Victoria among guests at Princess Martha Louise and Durek Verrett’s wedding

The big day is finally here! Guests have begun arriving for the wedding of Norway’s Princess Märtha Louise and Californian shaman Durek Verrett.

The ceremony is taking place at the Hotel Union in Geiranger, western Norway, and is being covered exclusively by HELLO! and HOLA!.

Around 350 people are expected to witness the couple’s union, including Märtha Louise’s three daughters – Maud, Angelica, and Emma – as well as her parents, King Harald V and Queen Sonja, and her brother, Crown Prince Haakon, along with his wife, Crown Princess Mette-Marit.

Foreign royals will also be among the guests, with the Swedish royal palace confirming the attendance of Crown Princess Victoria and her husband, Prince Daniel, and Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia.

In a pre-wedding interview, Märtha Louise told HELLO!: “We’re very excited. It feels amazing to be marrying Durek and I’m so happy the day is almost here. The surroundings are gorgeous – it’s one of the most beautiful places I know.”

“Even if there are a few glitches, we can still gaze at the stunning scenery,” she laughed.

As we wait for the first official wedding photo to be released by HELLO! and the full photo album in next week’s issue, we are sharing some of the arrival photos to give you a flavor of the moment…

The Swedish royals were dressed to the nines as they were spotted arriving at the wedding tent. Crown Princess Victoria looked stunning in a summery coral gown with a floor-length skirt and a one-shouldered neckline, wearing her hair in an elegant updo.

Meanwhile, Sweden’s Prince Daniel kept it classic in a black tux and a bow tie, much like his brother-in-law Prince Carl Philip.

Crown Princess Sofia followed Victoria and Daniel into the venue in a tangerine and white ombre gown with a white coat draped over her arm. Her long brunette hair had been styled into an effortless half-updo.

King Harald’s sister Princess Astrid, Mrs. Ferner, kept her wedding guest ensemble under wraps as she layered a black coat with a red satin trim over her shoulders for warmth.

One part of her outfit that remained on display was her statement headpiece, secured into her curled hair.

Märtha Louise’s daughters Leah and Emma, whom she shares with her late ex-husband Ari Behn, looked radiant in gold satin floor-length dresses with different silhouettes. Despite their unique dresses, they both sported their mother’s long brunette hair, twisted into a low bun with face-framing strands left loose.

Märtha Louise and Durek’s wedding concludes three days of celebrations, with the festivities kicking off at a meet-and-greet party – with a “sexy and cool” dress code – at the Hotel 1904 in Ålesund city on Thursday.

Guests then enjoyed a boat trip on Friday afternoon, taking in the sights of the Geiranger Fjord before heading to the Hotel Union in the evening for a Latin American-themed pre-wedding party.
