PMCO2012It was announced by the Swedish royal court that the Swedish network, SVT, has purchased the rights to broadcast the wedding of Her Royal Highness Princess Madeleine of Sweden and Mr. Christopher O’Neill.

SVT project manager, Mr. Per Rådelius, stated, We are proud to have been commissioned to be the host broadcaster for another royal wedding and look forward to producing the broadcast [of the wedding]…”

The Princess Madeleine and Mr. O’Neill will marry on June 8, 2013, at the Slottskyrkan at the royal palace in Stockholm.  The ceremony begins at 4P.M. Swedish time.

Let’s hope SVT does another great job of airing the upcoming wedding (hence similar to that of Their Royal Highnesses Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel of Sweden’s wedding on June 19, 2010.  If you saw their wedding live then you know what I am talking about).   🙂
