Now they have said yes!

Princess Märtha Louise and shaman Durek Verrett are husband and wife.

In a white tent with the beautiful Geirengerfjord as a backdrop, they kissed each other in front of the altar.

- I feel beyond happy, says Durek Verrett to the press gathering on site.

Princess Märtha Louise had her three daughters close to her during the wedding, they mean everything to her.

Eldest daughter Maud Angelica Behn followed her mother to the altar. All three girls wore gold shimmering dresses.

Margit Lovise Holte, who is a close friend of Märtha Louise, married the couple. Pastor Michael Beckwith also attended the ceremony.

Märtha wore a white pompous dress with a long veil. In her hair was a small glittering tiara that she received as a gift from her grandfather when she turned 18. She was holding a large bridal bouquet of pink roses.

Belly girdle in gold

Durek wore a black jacket-like suit with a gold belly belt. He carried pink roses in his breast pocket.

The seven bridesmaids wore pink dresses and small sweet pink bouquets of roses. The seven marshals matched with pink roses in their breast pockets.

The shaman and the princess got engaged in 2022 and have been a couple since 2019.

The shaman is now a member of the royal family, but he will not be given a princely title and it is not expected of him to represent the royal house and Norway. Since Märtha Louise is no longer a working royal, the same applies to Durek.

"Love is the original energy"

It has been unusually sparing with pictures and comments from the newly married couple, when they sold the TV rights to Netflix and the wedding photo to the magazine Hello.

- Our love has won against all odds and will last forever, says Märtha Louise to Hello.

- Love conquers all because love is the original energy that we all are on this planet. It triumphs over everything, adds Durek Verrett.

At 18.30 they met the assembled press on site, and offered the occasional kiss in front of the cameras.

Märtha Louise said that the wedding ceremony was "fantastic", and is now looking forward to a wonderful dinner.

- I feel "on top of the world" about marrying this woman. I have been waiting for it for so many years, says Durek Verrett.
