While Crown Prince Haakon, 49, and Crown Princess Mette-Marit, 49, were designated guests, Princess Ingrid Alexandra, 19, also received an important assignment. She was among the bridesmaids on the big day.
Victoria is the godmother of the heir to the Norwegian throne.
While Ingrid Alexandra was already known to many, there were also several relatively unknown bridesmaids. Among them is Hedvig Blom Söderström (24).

According to Svenske Damtedning, she has been living in Arizona, USA since last year. She is married to NHL player Viktor Soderstrom (22), who plays for the Arizona Coyotes hockey team.
This is why it didn’t exist
The Swedish site writes that Stockholm remains home for the couple. At the weekend, they were also back in Sweden when Prince Daniel’s cousin, Sarah Westling, married Jesper at Burg Church outside Norrkoping, the Swedish site writes.
While Hedvig has a private Instagram profile, the man has 14,000 followers. He has also shared a photo from their wedding weekend.
Se og Hør royal house expert Caroline Fagel believes the new photos of Prince Daniel’s niece underscore just how quickly time has passed.
– 13 years ago, the sweet little girl caught the eyes of the whole world on her, when she was given the honorable task of wearing the crown princess couple’s rings as a bridesmaid. Today, she’s all grown up and married herself, and to her own hockey prince, Fagle says.
Hedwig and Victor became engaged in 2021.
“I look forward to life with you,” the professional hockey player wrote on Instagram at the time.
The couple lead seemingly loners, despite Victor’s hockey career.
