Fairytale wedding for Ozzie Mary

Months of planning, hundreds of guests and thousands of police in the streets will give way to a royal wedding redolent of the fairy tales written by Denmark’s Hans Christian Andersen.

Less than four years after they met in a Sydney bar, Danish Crown Prince Frederik and Australian Mary Donaldson are set to exchange vows at Copenhagen’s Our Lady Lutheran Cathedral today at 3pm before 800 guests, including European and Asian royals, Danish and Australian dignitaries and close friends.
