Female commoners, may I have your attention. Former reality star and saucy model Sofia Hellqvist has done the impossible by marrying an adorable Swedish Prince.

Tell your mother to forget about the doctors, lawyers and hedge fund jamokes.  Your expectations just underwent a major upgrade, and now you won’t consider any man who doesn’t come with a title.

The ceremony was a mix of touching emotion and humor, when Carl Philip encountered the same problem as Prince William when trying to fit Sofia’s wedding band on her ring finger.

Sofia’s dressed was designed by Ida Sjöstedt, and the diamond and emerald tiara was a gift from her in-laws, the King and Queen of Sweden.
