Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia celebrate five years of marriage: Here are the highlights from their royal wedding

06/14/2020 2:42 CEST By Alisandra Puliti

Five years ago on June 13, 2015,  Prince Carl Philip  married the love of his life,  Sofia Hellqvist  in the royal chapel in Stockholm. The two, who are now parents to Princes Gabriel and Alexander, met one fateful evening in 2010 when they were dining separately at a restaurant but their companions knew each other. Sofia was a model and student in New York City before joining the Swedish royal family. She even had a stint on reality show Paradise Hotel. Carl was one of the most eligible bachelors in his country and beyond before his relationship with Sofia.

As hundreds of their families and friends witnessed their love firsthand, there is no surprise that it has continued the duration of their marriage. To commemorate their special day, the prince took to Instagram to share some of his favorite photos along with a sweet message to his bride. “Sometimes every human being comes to a decisive choice; a choice that determines your whole future and which is about who you are and above all who you want to be,” he wrote in Swedish. “And often it requires courage. Courage not to choose the easy path just because it is easy, but courage to stay on the hard path because it is right. Today we celebrate five year wedding anniversary.”

Keep scrolling to see more from the day she became a princess in their own fairy tale royal wedding.

Before becoming man and wife, Prince Carl Philip shared an image of him moments before taking to the altar. Ahead of his special day, Carl confessed to the Swedish channel TV 4, “I don’t think I knew the magic of love before I met Sofia. But ever since I met her, I’ve seen how love can change a person.”

With all the access that comes with becoming a royal, Sofia could have chosen any wedding designer for her special day. She opted for a beautiful gown Swedish designer Ida Sjöstedt that featured intricate lace and a show-stopping train. The bride completed her look with an emerald and diamond tiara gifted to her from her in-laws, King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia.

During the reception, the newlyweds dined at the royal palace. Both King Carl and Sofia’s father Erik spoke at the reception. “Carl Philip, I won’t ask you to look after my daughter. She has always managed that fine herself,” Erik Hellqvist said. ”But I do ask you both to continue to take good care of each other.”

The party continued in and danced in Karl XI‘s Gallery. During the reception, the then 29-year-old had a surprise in place for her husband and had a song she wrote performed by Molly Sanden. Referencing her father‘s speech, she mentioned, “As my father said, I always walked my own way. This is from me to you. I love you!” Some of the lyrics included: ”Everything I am, everything I have, to my last breath I will always love you with every beat of my heart.”
