Willem-Alexander had two younger brothers: Prince Friso (1968 – 2013) and Prince Constantijn (born 1969). My favorite part of the ceremony, by far. How the power of music transformes a beautiful Argentine lady into the future Dutch Queen! I knew, of course, that the tears it evoked had something to do with her father (and mother)'s absence from the wedding. But also, I think it was clear the music meant so much to Maxima, and she responded in such a human way. The lady behind her is also moved to tears. I remember this moment so well. I'd love to visit some day...It's definitely on my "list".My favorite, too.

(I always try to hold my tears, but never succeeded!) I don't know if she ever spoke about it in an interview afterwards. Thanks for the explanation on who's who Principessa That would make sense that it was Maxima's sister who was also profoundly moved by the music. It was eventually concluded he would not attend. I'm American, but my family lived in Argentina for almost ten years before I was born and one of my brothers was born there. The lady behind her is also moved to tears. Amazing music. Anyone knows who this is? It's a beautiful piece, performed on the bandoneon, which is a relative of the concertina. The day before the wedding, there was a lunch and concert at the Per Dutch law, the couple were first required to be married in a civil ceremony. As I remember, this was chosen by Willem-Alexander for Maxima because her father was asked not to attend the wedding. I was listening today to a recording of ``Adios Nonino,'' Ástor Piazzolla's 1959 tango that was played by Carel Kraayenhof at Maxima's and Willem-Alexander's wedding in February 2002. I was listening today to a recording of ``Adios Nonino,'' Ástor Piazzolla's 1959 tango that was played by Carel Kraayenhof at Maxima's and Willem-Alexander's wedding in February 2002.

Apparently, he was a cabinet member in Argentina during the time of the "Dirty War" and many under the Argentine President's regime were killed. And I wondered if she's ever talked about this.
