stephanie has mentioned in the interview that at the start of the wedding a minute of silence for her mother will be held.

There will also be a veil of the late comtesse placed over the statue of the Virgin Mary in the cathedral during the wedding.

 

[Meraude]

I found this program on RTL where a reporter takes a look on how people in Luxembourg think about the wedding and what kind of souvenirs there are to buy: RTL.lu - RTL Replay I liked the idea of the wall where people could write their congratulations to the couple.

 

[Duke of Marmalade]

[Rayarena]

As in the case of the British royal marriage, Luxembourg is producing souvenirs honoring their future monarchs, Guillaume and Stephanie: everything from chocolates to fine porcelain. If i lived nearby, I would definitely buy the comemerative porcelain set!

According to the RVD, Princess Ariane of the Netherlands will not be a flower girl at the wedding in Luxembourg. The princess is a god daughter of the Hereditairy Grand Duke.

[Charlotte_Aster]

a weather forecast info:
On Friday it will be partly cloudy with max. 19°C.
On Saturday it's sunny with temperature up to 21°C.
Looks like the Guillame and Stephanie really have Petrus on their side to have almost spring weather in autumn.

Thanks for posting this, stephanievl!
A bit of "who is who" for those who may not recognize some of the names:


Prince Felix of Luxembourg- Guillaume's younger brother
Don Lawrence Doimi de Frankopan - One of Guillaume's best friends. He comes from Italian and Croatian nobility and works as a sports manager in London.
Baroness Philipp von und zu Bodman - nee Princess Blanche von Merode from the Princely House of Merode. She is a good friend of both Guillaume and Stephanie. Two years ago, Guillaume, Stephanie, Felix, Louis and Tessy were all present at her own wedding.
Princess Louise zu Stolberg-Stolberg - a member of German nobility (although she was born in Belgium). Princess Louise is one of the oldest mutual friends of both Guillaume and Stephanie. In fact, at one time it was erroneously reported Guillaume was actually engaged to her. The zu Stolberg-Stolberg family is very close with the de Ligne one and Louise is a very close friend of Princess Alix de Ligne.

Princess Alexandra of Luxembourg - Guillaume's sister
Antonia Hamilton - Stephanie's niece (elder daughter of Stephanie's eldest sister, Nathalie).

Prince Gabriël of Luxembourg - Guillaume's nephew (son of Prince Louis and Princess Tessy)
Countess Caroline de Lannoy - Stephanie's niece (oldest daughter of Stephanie's oldest brother, Count Jehan)
Countess Louise de Lannoy - Stephanie's niece (second daughter of Stephanie's oldest brother, Count Jehan)
Isaure de le Court - Stephanie's niece (oldest daughter of Stephanie's elder sister, Countess Isabelle)
Lancelot de le Court - Stephanie's nephew (son of Stephanie's elder sister, Countess Isabelle)
Madeleine Hamilton - Stephanie's niece (third daughter of Stephanie's eldest sister, Nathalie).

Don Lawrence Doimi de Frankopan - One of Guillaume's best friends. He comes from Italian and Croatian nobility and works as a sports manager in London.

I believe that around the time of the wedding of his sister Paola to Lord Nicholas Windsor, it was established that the claims of nobility of the family are shady at the very best. But the family is known to be ultra catholics, so that fits .

---------------
Wort.lu reports that the statue of the virgin will not only wear a veil from Css Alix de Lannoy, but also a mantel made from the wedding dress of Grand Duchess Maria Teresa.

http://www.wort.lu/de/view/muttergo...erzogin-maria-teresa-507ffd12e4b06c6563e50e53

They also report that the wedding rings will be made from fair trade material. They also say that there will be 3000 roses in the church:

-----

In the mean time RTL reports that prime minister Jean-Claude Juncker held a speech, wishing the couple the best of luck:
http://news.rtl.lu/themen/guillaume_stephanie/iwwersiicht/331699.html


And a poll shows that 70% of the inhabitants of Luxembourg support a monarchy, 24% supports a republic:
http://news.rtl.lu/themen/guillaume_stephanie/iwwersiicht/330997.html

----
More news: the Norwegian court announced that Ari Behn cancelled his attendance, he stays in London with his daughters.

 

[Marengo]

I wasn't aware of that. If, however, they are descendants of the Polish Frankopans, then their claims are pretty sound: the Polish Frankopans can trace their (noble) ancestry back to 11th century.

I believe that the father of Paola adopted the Frankopan surname but that in fact the family de Frankopan has died out quite some time ago.

More in this thread: http://www.theroyalforums.com/forum...d-family-july-2005-a-6540-10.html#post1186960

The Croatian nobility counsil kicked Mr. Doimi de Frankopan out with the explanation "we consider that such unusual, imaginery, and self-proclaimed noble can no longer be considered a member of our honourable Association."
