[lucien]

Thank You for information!
Is this date set on the official site?
A little rainy and cold period for Luxembourg or maybe I am wrong.

Yes,it was officially announced by the Cour Grand Ducal this morning.

I recall that when William and Kate for engaged there were those who said he was forced to marry her because they dated so long. And sometimes when a royal couple doesn't date for long we question if they really know each other and are completely sure. I remember being shocked she I learned how short a time Mette-Marit and Haakon dated.
We will never know for sure until the end if the couple was really in it for the long haul no matter how long they were together prior to an engagement.

I really hope that Count Philippe de Lannoy will be in good heath and will be able to assist his youngest daughter’s wedding in the cathedral of Luxembourg.

I really hope that Count Philippe de Lannoy will be in good heath and will be able to assist his youngest daughter’s wedding in the cathedral of Luxembourg.

But in case that count won't be able or in good health to help her walking down the aisle, will it be Stephanie's eldest brother to assist the bride?

It is being widely reported now. I did a search in google.fr [that is to say, google in french] and I found a Belgian newspaper reporting the date of the marriage:

Stéphanie de Lannoy et Guillaume de Luxembourg se marieront le 20 octobre - RTBF Medias

Belated CONGRATULATIONS to the happy couple!

So glad Guillaume will be marrying within his own circle and his own kind, as it's a rarity nowadays, a long lost tradition. Great to see it make a comeback with his upcoming marriage to a person of the nobility.

May they live a long and happy fruitful life with lots of kids, just like their parents.

A couple of very decent. The ring is beautiful.

I got a thank you card of the couple today.

 

[Tyger]

I got a thank you card of the couple today.

How did you manage that? Where did you send your congratulations?

I have to confess I have truly been charmed by her in a very unexpected way. Curiously, some of her engagement pictures made her seem older than her years, especially the red dress did that, and the bad lighting for the other. Yet in the evening event when she was dressed in neutral colors and in a very simple, elegant way, one could again see how very young she really is, and sweet. There is something 'extra' about her - very charming.

Can someone translate what Stephanie is saying at the end of the video in the interview? What is amusing that is being said - everyone is laughing.

She was asked by a reporter if she has already started to learn the Luxembourgish language. She responds that, yes, she has started... and that she has a private tutor (pointing to Guillaume). That causes everyone to laugh.

Already an answer ? I sent a card the day after the announcement and I cross my fingers in order to receive an answer too !

 

[TLLK]

To be honest it had to be nice to be dating and no one knew. Then the world knows and you take center stage. Lets not fool ourselves in thanking we would take center stage and be perfect at it. Who cares what we thank of him or her it is their happiness that matter.

Great post and I agree that it nice that the couple had time and privacy to get to know each other.

I see the wedding is set for Oct.20th. That is a Saturday. Is it noral for royal weddings to be on Saturdays or is that only something smaller countries with a monarchy do?

 

[Moonmaiden23]

If I remember correctly the wedding of the current Grand Ducal couple Maria-Teresa and Henri took place on Saturday Feb14, 1981.

And the recent Swedish and Monagasque Royal weddings took place on Saturdays as well(in Albert of Monaco's case the civil ceremony was on the Friday evening preceding Saturday's Nuptial Mass)

I think it's mainly Britain that celebrates it's Royal weddings on weekdays.

The other recent royal Wedding which was on a weekday was that of Frederik and Mary in 2004 which took place on a Friday but all the other danish royal Weddings took place on Saturdays.

P.S. Isn't it odd, though, that her nose in #3 does not look like the nose in #5. How strange is that?
