Television lights gleamed on the bride's golden crown and her simple wedding dress and veil of Brussels lace. Standing before Lutheran Archbishop Gunnar Hultgren, Margaretha answered the traditional question with a soft "Ja." Ambler said, "I will...
There were enough relatives of the bride to make up for any lack, ranging from her sister, Princess Desiree, who last month married a Swedish noble man, to Denmark's Queen Ingrid, whose daughter Princess Anne-Marie weds King Constantine of Greece in September.

Masquerading as the frontier wilderness of Montana circa 1890, California's High Sierra country fills the wide screen with some breathtaking acreage that no TV oat opera can duplicate.
