The Prince of Spain is getting married next summer!!!
*dances around* :D :bday: :blob: :onfire:
Just wanted to share my happiness, thanks :D
-
que fantastico! :eatarrow:
-
to who...you?
-
woooooooooooooo!
wats his name and who is he marring?
-
this is where Nerea comes back and posts pictures of her marrying the prince of spain... 8O
-
hahaha why are you so excited nerea? I'm curious.. I was after reading your LJ about it.
-
cool! who's he marrying?
-
he's marrying Letizia Ortiz.
Next year a bunch of my friends get to go to spain because they take spanish...I hope they go around the time of the wedding. I'm sure they'll have a ton of fun.
-
oh cool! i want to go to spain! lol
-
Yup, he's marrying Letizia Ortiz, a journalist who works (well, worked, til the day before the engagement was announced) as a news presenter on the main public channel here.
Ppl say the marriage will be June 24th, they're just speculating, but I guess they have reasons to believe that. It's been said they'll marry early next summer, and that's St. John's Day, Bonfire Night and all that... a significant enough date. Plus, one of the Prince's names is Juan, and so is his father's
LOL Chris, I wish I was! :P Nah, actually, I'd rather marry Prince William :wink: Closer to my age and a whole lot fitter!
Nicole... well I'm not sure even why. I guess this is the news the whole country's been wanting to hear for a long time now (the Prince is 35!), the fact that she's Spanish, and what the marriage means to Spain, it's all pretty exciting :) ok, i guess i like the spanish monarchy a lot too ;)

Prince William........*dies* i know it's sort of cheesy since practically every girl who's ever seen him wants to marry him, but he's just sooo........handsome. i know i can't be the only girl here who thinks this :D

you nailed that with a hammer.

Eeew. I think I need to lay down in front of the I-Love-Wills lovetrain and derail it. Ick. There's got to be more ladies out there who don't fancy him. He's DEFINITELY not my type. *cringe*
As for a royal Spanish wedding....Hurray! I can't wait. I have two questions:
1) So it's not a big deal for the Crown Prince to marry a commoner?
2) What? Engaged already? Wasn't he allegedly connected to Gwyneth
Paltrow only a year ago? This is going to be the future queen...let's be sure about this decision, little prince-man. (It irks me when people decide to marry after a year or less. That's just me though.)
Yay, I love a good royal wedding just like anybody else. I love royals...just not the ones from England (sorry Windsor fans.) It's just that we hear about them so much that it makes me not care about them. You give me some juicy scoop on what the Swedes and the Danes are up to and I'm all ears, though. :wink:
Oooh, who wants to go to Spain and partay harty with the Spaniards on the royal wedding day? I bet everyone will have the day off and the pubs will be rockin'. :mrgreen:

There's a choice of about 3 actually, one's 13 (maybe a little young, but if you're desperate i'm sure he'd be willing!!), one is ummm 22, and one is 28.

As for a royal Spanish wedding....Hurray! I can't wait. I have two questions:
1) So it's not a big deal for the Crown Prince to marry a commoner?
It doesn't seem to be. People have accepted his fiancée really well, mainly because, in spite of not being an aristocrat, she does come from a famous family of journalists, she is intelligent, hard working, cultivated and a lot of things most of the other Prince's former gfs didn't have. And she's Spanish. Trust me, that counts a LOT. So people are happy enough with it.
2) What? Engaged already? Wasn't he allegedly connected to Gwyneth
Paltrow only a year ago? This is going to be the future queen...let's be sure about this decision, little prince-man. (It irks me when people decide to marry after a year or less. That's just me though.)
The Gwyneth Paltrow thing was just a rumour. Personally, I don't think it was true. Just journalists wanting to have some sort of "Grace Kelly Spanish version" and have something to talk about. Actually, I think Gwyneth was already going out with Chris Martin back then, so I doubt it was true. They did have dinner together and they know each other, but in my opinion that's all.
I know what you mean though. Nobody's still quite sure how long the Prince and Letizia Ortiz have been going out, but it hasn't been too long, probably around 6 months, which is crazy! What I think has happened is that they're both in their 30s, and the Prince had a bit of pressure on him to marry, so they decided to get engaged a bit faster than any other couple would have. Still, I don't think they're less in love because of that. They looked SO cute the other day on TV... *sigh* :roll:
You give me some juicy scoop on what the Swedes and the Danes are up to and I'm all ears, though. :wink:
Oooh yes, BLONDIES! *drools*
Oooh, who wants to go to Spain and partay harty with the Spaniards on the royal wedding day? I bet everyone will have the day off and the pubs will be rockin'. :mrgreen:
Yay!! Early summer 2004, I want to see you all booking your flights NOW! It's an order! :wink: i think i'll be in the middle of my finals, but oh well, a royal wedding is still a royal wedding huh?

Rosie & Rroo, those pics were taken outside the Teatro Real in Madrid, after a concert given by Rostropovich celebrating the Queen's 65th birthday. That was their first public event together, straight after they'd been filmed at the Prince's gardens appearing in public together for the first time and say oh how in love they were.... SO sweet!! *sigh* He kept holding her hand and telling the journalists how in love he was... I mean, if in a normal situation any girl would melt if a guy says what he said, imagine what it must be like with a Prince saying it to you!! *faints* :roll:

Thank goodness he is such a handsome prince! I see he didn't inherit the Bourbon nose of his ancestors. And let us all be thankful for that. Then again, he could always get an "Extreme Makeover" for that sort of thing - if it bothered him enough... :roll:
Behold: Louis II de Bourbon

Note: Extreme Makeover is a show here in the states where a team made up of the best plastic surgeons, trainers, ophthalmologists, cosmetic dentists, stylists, etc., from LA makeover an ugly duckling from top to bottom.

i thought bourbon was french?

LOL true about the Bourbon nose... I guess he takes a lot after his mother, cos the King does have a bit of a weird nose.
-
i thought bourbon was french?
The Spanish Bourbons (Borbones) do have a French origin. Have a look at this:
"On the death of King Charles II without male heirs 24 Nov 1700, the Spanish throne was disputed between the grandd-son of his elder sister, Maria Theresa, Queen of France (wife of Louis XIV), and the Archduke Charles (1685-1740), yr son of his sister the Empress Margaret. By the settlement made at the Treaty of Utrecht 1713, the Iberian and American possessions were inherited by Philippe of France, while the Netherlands and Italian possessions were acquired by the Habsburgs. This branch of the Bourbons was founded by Philippe of France, Duke of Anjou (b 19 Dec 1683; d 9 Jul 1746) who reigned as King Philip (Felipe) V of Spain from 24 Nov 1700"
So basically: no heir after Carlos II, and a Civil War between his 2 grandsons. The French one wins, the Austria Habsburg dinasty is over & done in Spain and the Spanish branch of the Bourbons begins :)

Spain's royal couple win lottery on gift ticket
MADRID (Reuters) - As if having a fairytale wedding was not enough luck for one day, Spain's Prince Felipe and new wife Princess Letizia have hit the jackpot with a lottery ticket given to them as a wedding present, state radio has reported.
The happy couple -- who wed in a glittering ceremony attended by the world's royalty on Saturday -- won 12,000 euros (8,000 pounds) on a ticket given to them by a Barcelona pensioner, National Spanish Radio said.
The retired employee of state television -- where Princess Letizia worked until she became engaged -- gave the couple 10 tickets. One ticket won 12,000 euros and another, the number of which corresponded to the date of the wedding, won a 60 euro prize, the radio reported.
The state lottery company's Website confirmed those ticket numbers had won.

Aaah the way they looked at at each other! I watched the church service yesterday..., so cute to see how she sometimes clinged on Felipe's arm (5th pic):

Oh it was THE BEST! i love those pictures! Especially where they're hugging on the balcony.I didn't manage to see the beginning bit, but nerea has recorded it for me. It was such a catholic ceremony! Don't you think? The coin exchange was wicked too- very spanish. And their Mantia's (is that what they're called?) were pretty rocking too! I wasn't quite sure about Letizia's make up though, lol. YAAAAAAAY for a proper wedding for people really in love hehehe.

That little boy (Felipe - also known as Froilan in Spain cos that's one of his other names - the Prince's nephew) was so much fun yesterday during the church service! He's so sweet!
Those pics are great Rogier! :D Ah, I just loved the whole thing. People here are complaining that it was too cold, that no emotions were shown and that all in all it was a sad ceremony, but I don't think so. They weren't as explicit as the Danish couple las week but they were still really cute :)
It was such a catholic ceremony! Don't you think? The coin exchange was wicked too- very spanish. And their Mantia's (is that what they're called?) were pretty rocking too!
lol yes, very catholic :? It was looooooong, very long! I didn't know the coin exchange was a Spanish thing. Those coins are called "arras", and I think they symbolize prosperity.
The thing the Queen and other ladies were wearing is called "mantilla" Very very Spanish. I am not sure really on which occasions it's supposed to be used because it's more of a southern thing and I live on the north.
:P about Letizia's make-up (and appearance on the whole) I think she looked pretty tired. She's naturally very skinny and apparently she's lost weight these days, so she didn't look too bright that day, IMO. The dress was luuuuurverly though!
