Swedish Princess Madeleine Marries

Princess Madeleine of Sweden married American financier Christopher O'Neill, on Saturday.

The wedding took place in the Royal Chapel in Stockholm, and their vows were followed by a twenty-one cannon salute.

After the ceremony, they were taken by the Parade Barouche, the official wedding carriage of Sweden, to a boat which took them to Drottningholm Palace, for their reception.

Their nearly five hundred guests included royalty and financiers from around the world.

Madeleine is the youngest of King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia's children, and is fourth in line to the throne.

She lives in New York City where she works for the World Childhood Foundation, founded by her mother.
