Wedding scene On November 18, 1995, the sun was shining in Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark. Joachim, the second son of Queen Margaret II of Denmark, married Miss Alexandra Manley from Hong Kong. The 26-year-old prince fell in love with Miss Manley, who is five years older than him, at a private banquet at a China restaurant in Hong Kong. He regretted meeting him later. In May of that year, when the news of their engagement spread, the country was a sensation. The prince traveled across the ocean to the east to find a beautiful princess. For Denmark, this indeed had the magical color of a fairy tale. The wedding was held at Frederick Chapel in Hillerroad. This church, which has been around for more than 300 years, was newly decorated and had a splendid church hall and fragrant flowers. This was the biggest happy event for the Danish royal family in 28 years. More than 200 distinguished guests attended the wedding, including members of the European royal family. People waved torches and national flags in the freezing cold on the streets of Hillerrod, as cheers broke the calm of the ancient city.
