Default Fernando Gomez-Acebo & Monica Martin Luque: 26 Nov. 2004

Hola.com shows pictures of the King and Queen in attendance today at the wedding of Fernando Gomez-Acebo. However, though they say the entire Royal Family was in attendance, they show no pictures. I have tried searching to no avail. Has anyone seen pictures?

Thanks so much for these pictures Regina. They are wonderful.

Cristina does indeed look incredibly elegant. What a class act she is! :)

What is the bride's name by the way? And did Felipe and Letizia attend, too?

The bride's gown is interesting (could have been a little more stream-lined) but I am not fond of the veil...

The Spanish Royal Family attend the wedding of Fernando Gomez Acebo, son of King Juan Carlos's sister Dona Pilar, and hence nephew of the King and Monica Luque at the Church "Encarnacion" on November 27, 2004 in Madrid, Spain

Thank you for the wonderful photos, Anna! Letizia looks very pretty in pink and it's very sweet that Felipe has a pale pink tie to match her outfit.

Cristina's outfit is really wonderful.

I love the Spanish flair of Letizia's dress. It's also a beautiful color. Cristina once again looks fabulous. I don't care for Elena's look. As for Don Jaime's cape, he looks like the Phantom of the Opera.

Some pics of the bride and groom (after all its their wedding)...
I kinda like her gown, except the neck and the veil doesn't really go with the gown. She should have worn something like Princess Maxima's veil.
Also, the gown could have been a little more form fitting..

#8: bride with her brother, Ramon Fernan Luque.

Monica's gown does look better in these photos. It's attractive but the veil just didn't work with the overall design.

Does anyone know what tiara she is wearing?

Julia,
You are right about the veil. As for the dress, I think the collar is a bit too bulky.

I just read the entire Hola.com article and they make no mention of the tiara.
