News theme: Royal Wedding

On May 22nd, 2004 the Prince Felipe will get married to Letizia Ortiz. As can be imagined, this has aroused much interest, not only in Spain, but also around the world.

A number of taboos are being broken with this marriage: the bride is a commoner, although having been a well-known newsreader, she is not a stranger to Spaniards; she was previously, if only for a short time, married.

The engagement was a great surprise to everyone, a well-kept secret until the official announcement. For more details see our news archive and Go prince felipe or royal wedding: http://www.prayforspain.com/archive/index5.html

As time goes on we expect to fill out this theme and place updates on the news resumé, although we will be unavailable to cover the event!
