Royal Wedding By The Numbers

(CBS) Today's royal wedding of Sweden's Crown Princess Victoria to her personal trainer, Daniel Westling, is no ordinary affair.

The event, which includes a ceremony at Stockholm Cathedral, a procession in an open carriage through city streets, a barge trip across the harbor and a banquet for more than 950 at the Royal Palace, is expected to cost $2.3 million. Half will be paid by the Swedish government and half by the bride's father, King Carl Gustaf.
