When the moment came for Martha Louise of Norway and Durek Verrett to exchange the particular vows they had prepared for each other during their wedding ceremony last Saturday, they were filled with emotion.
Märtha Louise, 52, and Durek, 49, celebrated their love in a ceremony presided by Märtha’s close friend, parish priest Margit Louise Holte, at the weddings, which were exclusively documented by HELLO! magazine.
“I swear to always listen to your wisdom,” Durek remarked, his voice breaking with emotion. I swear that I will always make time and listen to you and your daughters. I swear to love you until the day I die.”

“I promise to love you with all my heart,” Märtha, the proud mother of her three daughters, Emma, 16, Leah, 19, and Maud, 21, said, fighting back tears. I swear to be accountable for my feelings. Since I know you understand that my girls come first, I swear to adore you.

The couple’s stunning wedding rings were exchanged for a kiss, and the normally tough Norwegian people broke down into cheers, grins, and happy tears.
In addition, Märtha’s brother Crown Prince Haakon, and Durek’s sister Angelina Verrett-Byrne read passages from the Bible throughout the ceremony, which also featured inspirational speeches about marriage and love from Michael B. Beckwith and poignant hymns like Ave Maria and Amazing Grace.
As the gospel choir HIM sang Stevie Wonder’s popular song “As,” Märtha Louise and Durek thrilled their guests by dancing to the upbeat music as they walked back down the aisle.
