He will participate with a greeting in Princess Märtha Luise and Durek Verrett’s wedding tomorrow. – I think the wedding will be a kind of hybrid of shaman Durek and Märtha Louise, he says. – We meditate together and we pray together. Both are more relaxed, they are ready for the big day, says Beckwith, adding that he is not nervous either. He explains what will be his role in the wedding. – I will offer a greeting and something called a rose ceremony at the wedding. I will inspire them to use roses to overcome any kind of conflict. Beckwith says that Verrett has attended his congregation for over 20 years, and that Princess Märtha Louise has also attended there for the past five years. Jan Thomas: – Celebration of love The wedding celebration started with a “getting to know you” party at Hotel 19904 in Ålesund last night. – I can reveal that it was a celebration of love on a level that Norway needs, and it would be my only wish that the whole country could be with us and see what we saw and experience what we experienced, says Jan Thomas.

So you made a lot of new acquaintances, and there were very nice Americans whom I greeted, says Harlem Alexander to news. – I haven’t been to Geiranger before, but I heard that the boat trip will be very nice, so I’m really looking forward to it, I’m very excited. In Geiranger, a large tent has been set up on the plain where the wedding will take place: The royal family put their foot down for a photo appointment. Tonight there will be a party for the bride and groom and the guests in Geiranger. The theme of the party is Latin American salsa, according to Hello Magazine. Tomorrow is the day of the wedding and the big wedding party in Geiranger. It is the British weekly Hello Magazine and Netflix that have bought the rights to show images from the wedding, while the public and the press otherwise do not get access. However, the king and the rest of the royal family have refused to pose for pictures where Hello Magazine and Netflix have paid for exclusive access.
