Today, at 4 p.m., Princess Alexandra of Denmark married Martin Jørgensen, a cameraman who turned 29 yesterday. They were married this afternoon at Øster Egende Kirke in Fakse, Denmark. Upon the marriage, Princess Alexandra lost her princess title and is now referred to as the Countess of Frederiksborg.
For the wedding, the bride donned an ivory-coloured dress with a beaded pattern from the waist up and with a slight train. (The dress is remarkably similiar in cut and style from the beige-coloured dress she wore to one of Crown Prince Frederik's pre-wedding festivities to Mary Donaldson. (See below for the comparison.)
Princess Alexandra walked down the aisle escorted by her two sons, Prince Nikolai and Prince Felix, who wore light brown-coloured jackets and ivory ties. The groom donned white tie.
Although it is not certain, there are stories that Alexandra's earrings and necklace were from her former husband, Prince Joachim, either as a wedding gift when they were married or as a gift some time during their marriage. (What an old choice for jewellery to your second wedding!)
Personally I didn't care for Alexandra's look, from the beehive hair do with the flowers or ribbon woven into it to the white eyeshadow to the colour of the dress. I know that the recent royal brides were not virgins at their wedding, but ivory at your second wedding when you are 43 year's old with two sons, is a bit much.
She and Martin did look very happy however, and I guess that is what matters most.

I agree, I was disappointed in her choice. So few people respect traditions regarding marriage anymore, unfortunately. They seemed very happy though, which is a blessing.
