00:0025 years ago, Oslo dressed up to celebrate the wedding of the crown prince,
00:04Jacob of Norway, with the young Metemarit.
00:06A union that defied the unwritten rules of royalty.
00:10The bride did not arrive at the altar alone, but hand in hand with her future husband.
00:14who waited for her at the entrance of the cathedral.
00:16An unusual gesture that already made it clear that this was not going to be a typical royal wedding.
00:21The couple even gave each other a kiss in front of 800 guests,
00:24Among them were representatives of the main European royal houses.
00:27The then Prince Felipe and his mother, Queen Sofia,
00:31Margaret of Denmark, or Carl Gustav and Silvia of Sweden, among others.
00:35The bride chose a design with simple and elegant lines,
00:38in ivory silk, with long sleeves and a slightly fitted silhouette,
00:43inspired by the skirts worn by the groom's grandmother, Queen Mott.
00:47The veil was 6 meters long and made of silk.
00:51As jewelry, she chose a simple white gold pendant
00:53and a tiara from 1910, a gift from her in-laws and composed of 25 diamond daisies.
01:00The final detail that completed the look was a daring bouquet of flowers,
01:05a braided garland made with hydrangea,
01:07colorful roses and orchids that she carried hanging from her hand like a waterfall.
01:13Little Marius, Metemari's son from a previous relationship,
01:16He served as a page and became one of the protagonists of the day.
01:19As was also the Norwegian model Eva Sanun, with whom he was at that time
01:23Prince Felipe was linked to the wedding and also attended the ceremony.
01:27This wedding changed the game, and a quarter of a century later
01:30It remains one of the great love stories of European royalty.
