Finally we will have chance to see photos from Roger Federer's wedding! In this months issue of "Schweizer illustrierte" which comes out today will be exclusive photos from the wedding that shows 12 pages full of lovely and intimate moments!
If any of my readers from Switzerland buy this magazine and have chance to scan photos and send it to me, I'd be grateful!!

Here’s the what the Schweizer Fernsehen website said about the wedding (click here for the original):
"Stylish and elegant, tennis ace Roger Federer and Mirka Vavrinec were married at Easter at the registry office in Basle. The first pictures of the wedding of the year show the couple in love and intimacy.
Mirka wore an enchanted empire dress by Oscar de la Renta to cleverly hide her baby bump, as shown in the exclusive pictures in “Schweizer Illustrierte.“
The dress was tuned perfectly to her wedding ring which her goldsmith father made. Roger wore a classic three-piece suit by Tom Ford.
There were 39 guests at the wedding party, held at the Villa Wenkenhof in Riehen and there was a very Swiss dish on the menu - Zurich Gschnetzeltes. The wedding party celebrated until after midnight.
“Schweizer Illustrierte” betrayed another secret of the Federer couple: Roger and Mirka’s baby is a boy. The due date is in August.
Fee goes to Foundation
“Schweizer Illustrierte” is the first magazine that published photos of the wedding. “We’ve had for many years, a trusting relationship with the 13-time Grand Slam winner and his family,” writes SI Nik Niethammer, editor-in-chief of the current issue.
The fee for the pictures was paid to the Roger Federer Foundation at the request of the bride and groom. This supports athletically talented, but financially poor children. In Africa, the foundation also supports projects of local relief organizations."
Here is also the video of wedding photos from Schweizer Illustrierte magazine, put in this handy slide show.

Classy.
Oh wow, Lana, thanks for getting a picture of Roger and Mirka mag full spread!
You're welcome Hcfoo, I just wish that somebody scan all photos from the magazine!
Hi Lana!
Thanks for the link to my story! I just wanted to point out that the translation included my own random comments and links (in quotes) that were not part of the original Swiss article - like the stuff about the stew being a Swiss dish and that we tennis fans already know that the baby is going to be a boy. The Swiss paper did not make those comments - I'm guessing that Swiss people know what their national dish is! Just want to clarify that in case it seemed weird. . .
Hi Lana, thanks for adding me to your blog roll. Im adding you now as well. And thanks for the pics :-)
Hi freaky frites, thanks for pointing to this, I read it and I noticed that those are your comments, but when I copied it, I forget to erase it!!
Ru-an, you're welcome!
