STORYLINE:
A young single mother became Norway's Crown Princess and future Queen on Saturday.
Mette-Marit Tjessem Hoiby, a 28-year-old Norwegian commoner, married Crown Prince Haakon in a Lutheran ceremony that began at 5 p.m. (1500 GMT) before around 800 guests, including much of Europe's royalty.
The first royal wedding since 1968, when Haakon's parents, King Harald V and Queen Sonja married, was expected to draw as many as 120-thousand people - 25 percent of Oslo's population- along the wedding procession route from the palace to the cathedral.
Hoiby's relationship with the Prince has transformed her from student and part-time waitress to one of the most photographed women in Norway.
Prince Haakon's choice of wife, a single mother with drugs in her past, stirred heated debate in this liberal nation of 4.5 million.
Cohabitation and having children out of wedlock are commonplace, but Norwegians generally have strongly negative views about narcotics.
The father of Hoiby's 4-year-old son Marius has been convicted of drug possession.
Haakon said he never faced having to choose between the throne or marrying the one he loved because his family was supportive of his choice.
The Norwegian capital has been preparing for days for what is expected to be one of its biggest-ever street parties.
About 1,000 police will be out, partly because of worries that crowds could be so tightly packed that people might get hurt.
But the unusually large police presence was also to guard the many European royals attending, including the British princes Charles and Edward, Spanish Crown Prince Felipe and the monarchs of Sweden, Denmark, Belgium and Luxembourg.
Hoiby was born and raised in the southern town of Kristiansand.
She met Haakon in 1996, but they did not become a couple until 1999 after they met again at an outdoor rock concert.
Although groomed from birth to become king, Haakon went to public schools in Norway and the University of California-Berkeley, served in the Norwegian navy, and underwent diplomatic training.
Haakon's father King Harald held out for nine years before winning permission from his own father, King Olav V, to marry Sonja Haraldsen, now Queen Sonja.
Norway's modern monarchy is relatively new, created upon independence from Sweden in 1905.
Olav wanted his son to marry a princess to help establish the Royal House.
Harald said he quickly accepted his son's choice of a spouse, even though he knew it would stir debate, especially among older Norwegians.
During the evening there will be two separate wedding banquets, because of space restrictions, followed by fireworks.
The couple's honeymoon plans are secret.

Mette Marit has shown herself a wonderful support to her husband and behaves with regal dignity. Being a single mother has nothing to do with a woman’s personality.
In fact tougher
@I come in peace you are the bastard, you ignorant fossil. Go back to the dark ages.
@icomeinpeace1408It is wrong if his majesty says it is wrong, if the crown decides it to be correct then it is, simple as.
I think Haakon is the most handsome Prince in Europe, next to the current King of Spain.
She is so stunning! I love how simple and elegant her wedding dress looks. Also, her garland of flowers is pretty unique. Everything is perfect 🥺
Didn't know C P Frederick of Denmark stood up for him! They've always been great buddies! I hope Frederik and Mary will be a great comfort to Haakon and Mette-Marit has they face her health battle! Praying for her here in America!
He was the Best Man. The Crown Prince of Norway and the Crown Prince of Denmark are coucins and have a very close relationship.
Metta-Marit’s garland of flowers was everything!!!
Scandinavian Monarchies are an excellent example of Modern and Democratic Monarchies that respect the loving choices of their members. And they also know how to have training , to maintain good ethical principles of performance required to a Head of State, and at the same time maintain adequate authority, which by defining in advance the rules of behavior to be followed by each of its members, guarantee the dignity required for the performance of monarchic functions.
What a disgusting headline. You were lucky to get Mette Marit. She is a fantastic person.
Muito queridos príncipe e princesa Noruega ! Acompanho eles sempre aqui Brasil
I'm not monarchy supporter but I'm really happy for her because as a girl who loves to rave and have a child she really made it. The prince is nice looking guy and she is beauty but what is most important they both look really really happy she especially
1:50 and They lived Happily Ever After...
Yes, Dr
Comment by Carmencita: A very low profile princess, has been an asset instead of a liability for the royal family. She is always elegant, may have been a commoner but she has risen with grace. Meghan Markle should learn from this lady.
She behaves like that because she was accepted by the people sitting on top of the pyramid. Meghan didn't have that luxury.
@@jacinthpearson7716 Meghan was older and a woman of the world. She refused to accept the way British royalty behave and thought that her American style would be considered acceptable. As for calling her baby daughter ‘Lilibet’ this just shows what a tin ear she has and lack of understanding for the finer parts of etiquette. She’s not a horrible woman as many would have it, just unaware of what was asked of her when she joined the Royal Family - which in itself is one big challenge. Class counts in the long run.
@@juliehock6059 tell me the things that Meghan tried to change in the short space of time that she was living here. And as for Lilibet, it's a fricking name. How many people are called Elizabeth, Margaret, Charles etc. The press only turned into something else because the baby was two days old before they knew anything about her. They didn't like to be outsmarted by them so they turned it into something that it wasn't.
@@juliehock6059 agree with you but MM is also a control freak.
@Jacinth Pearson
I agree with you
Merci
Congratulations
Prayer for Denmark and Sweden from Malaysia
look like a real life disney frozen
