I wish we could see more photos of the bride. I couldn't understand what's going on with the lower part of her gown... from this photo, it just seems like trousers

Exactly the groom is a nephew of the deceased husband of the Infanta Pilar. He also has familiar relation with Margarita Gómez Acebo, wife of Simeón of Bulgaria.

The first name of the bride is written Nathalie, not Nathali.

I just corrected it, assuming that you are right... I believe the bride is German though, not French.

She has a french name, but I'm sure I saw the spelling Nathalie on other sites.
BTW, the german daughter of princesse Benedikte of Denmark, princesse Nathalie zu Sayn-Wittegenstein-Berleburg, has the spelling Nathalie, with the e.

Isn't he brother of Jaime Fernandez de Araoz y Gomez Acebo, who died a couple of years ago in a ski accident and whose finance prize was presided over by F&L earlier this Summer?

Yes, I believe that he is his brother. I am not very sure but I believe that the woman dressed in orange who does the reverence to Letizia in one of the photos is his widow.
Today I have seen some images in television, but they must be of a domestic video and were not of very good quality. It seems that the wedding was very discreet and the press did not find out very much.
The boyfriend greeted fondly the Princes. And one saw some image of Beltrán and Fernando Gómez Acebo with his wives Laura and Mónica.

Beltrán Gómez-Acebo, María García de la Rasilla (VERY elegant) Princess Letizia and Laura Ponte

The suit of the Princess of Vidin reminds me of one that Infant Elena once wore.

Yes that one.Thanks.:) Infanta Elena looked very elegant and stylish. It's a pity that she doesn't seem to wear decorated and ornate panty hoses anymore or as frequently.
