Now that is a whopper of a ring! Looks like the French flag with a ruby, diamond and sapphire!

I wonder whether it will be a church wedding or a quieter affair the second time around for Joachim?

[emeraldeyes1969]

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a traditional wedding - tiaras and orders!!!

So do I! . I think it would be unfair to Marie, if the wedding is going to be a quiet affair, just because it's Joachim's second marriage, if she want a big fairytale wedding. (I sure hope it will last this time, it will be a little embarrising if he is getting divorced again.)
But Marie is almost certain to wear a tiara. I wonder if she will get one from the family jewels, like Alexandra did, or if the Queen and the Prince will buy a new one, like they did in Mary's case.
