Crown Prince Olav of Norway married Princess Martha of Sweden at Oslo Cathedral on this day in 1929. Royal guests at the first royal wedding in independent Norway included the King and Queen of Sweden, the King and Queen of Denmark, the Duke (who was the best man) and Duchess of York, and various other royals who were closely related to the couple. Crown Prince Olav and Crown Princess Martha remained happily married until her tragic death in 1954, and are the parents of King Harald, Princess Astrid, and Princess Ragnhild.
