A royal wedding to remember!

Sweden's Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia celebrated their fifth wedding anniversary by giving their Instagram followers a special gift: the couple's personal wedding photos.

The series of 10 previously unreleased images from their royal wedding day on June 13, 2015, is accompanied by a portion of Carl Philip's wedding speech.

“Every person comes to a crucial choice; a choice that determines your future and is about who you are and above all who you want to be. And often it takes courage. Courage not to choose the easy path just because it is easy, but courage to stay on the difficult path because it is right," the caption read.

The never-before-seen photos feature special elements from the day, including the formal ceremony in the chapel at the Royal Palace of Stockholm, the floral arrangements and black-and-white shots of the bride's breathtaking gown, which was created by designer Ida Sjostedt.

"Ibland kommer varje människa till ett avgörande val; ett val som avgör hela ens framtid och som handlar om vem man är och framför allt vem man vill vara. Och ofta kräver det mod. Mod att inte välja den lätta vägen bara för att den är lätt, utan mod för att stanna på den svåra vägen för att den är rätt." ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Idag firar vi femårig bröllopsdag ❤️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📷: Erika Gerdemark

There are also a few behind-the-scenes shots that offer a glimpse into the bride and groom's private moments before they said, "I do." One photo shows Sofia taking a selfie with her father Erick Hellqvist before they walked down the aisle, and another shows the excited groom being helped into his Naval uniform by best man, Jan-Ake Hansson.
