Royal Wedding Tomorrow

I follow news events in Sweden, and tomorrow's royal wedding is a big deal.  If you'd like to watch, the Swedish national television service will be streaming the ceremony, as well as pre- and post-events.  The coverage for the 4:30 pm wedding (in Stockholm) begins at 8:00 am CDT, with the ceremony at 9:30 am; the link to the TV streaming is:

The groom (Karl Philip) is the second child of the King and Queen of Sweden.  He is marrying Sofia Hellqvist, a former TV star.  See below for my favorite photo of them (and there have been many in the run-up to the wedding).

FYI, the woman on the right is Karl's older sister, Crown Princess Victoria.  In 1980, shortly after she was born, the Swedish Parliament passed a law of absolute primogeniture, which means that the oldest child of either gender inherits the throne.
