Märtha’s close friend, parish priest Margit Louise Holte, officiated the wedding.
Durek promised in an emotional vow, "I promise to always listen to your wisdom. I promise to always hold space for you and your daughters and listen to them as well. I promise to love you with my last breath."
The Princess of Norway got teary as she said, "I promise to love you with all my heart. I promise to take responsibility for my emotions. I promise to love you because I know you know that my girls come first.”
Märtha added, “And I promise I will walk with you to the best of my ability because we are always changed although we are always the same. Because we are always the past, the present and the future in one."
