ARRIVAL OF THE GUESTS AT THE CHURCH

Of course we arrived at the St Moriz Church in Coburg, where the religious wedding was to take place, early in the morning. Apart from two others and some people building up the press stand, there was nobody there yet. We were hanging around and talked a bit. Of course we had taken places opposite of the entrance of the church. Slowly other onlookers started to arrive, and the daily newspaper which covered the civil wedding was much read. The guests for the wedding only started to arrive around 11am. The guestlist turned out to be quite interesting, and included members of the royal families of Sweden, Belgium, Great Britain and Bulgaria. Outside the church were two big bouquets of white roses and blue hydrangea. Also the church was decorated with these flowers.
