Princess Madeleine of Sweden Marries American Banker Christopher O'Neill
Swedish Princess Madeleine fell in love in the Big Apple. Now she has said yes to New York banker Christopher O'Neill in a lavish and emotional wedding ceremony in Stockholm
Madeleine was wearing a stunning white lace-top dress designed by Valentino Garavani when she tied the knot to British-American O'Neill on Saturday in front of around 470 European royals and top New York socialites
O'Neill fought back tears as Madeleine walked down the aisle with her father King Carl XVI Gustaf to a traditional Swedish wedding march performed by a children's choir The bride and groom were visibly moved as the ceremony proceeded with hymns in both Swedish and English and performances by Roxette singer Marie Fredriksson and Broadway's Phantom of the Opera star Peter Joback
With a smile on her face Madeleine read out the wedding vows in Swedish while O'Neill read his in English
Madeleine, 30, is the youngest of Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia's three children and fourth in line to the throne The 38-year-old O'Neill works as a partner and head of research at Noster Capital a hedge fund with offices in London and New York
The couple met through mutual friends in New York where they both live, and were first spotted together having lunch at the Central Park Boathouse in January 2011 They announced their engagement in October 2012
Guests at the wedding include the U.K.'s Earl and Countess of Wessex Prince Edward and Sophie Princess Takamado of Japan and princes and princesses from Norway, Denmark Greece Luxembourg and Monaco
