They did indeed and I agree Nancy was a beautiful setting for the wedding!

I loved looking at the pictures of this wedding. My best-dressed lady was the grooms cousin Alexandra. Her dress was so pretty! I thought the bride's dress was nice, but I would really like to see how it looks under that coat. And some closeups of the tiara, which seemed very small. I hope we get to see some photos of the ceremony-the cathedral is so beautiful!

What a lovely and happy couple. It's just beaming out from them on the scale of the flash after a Nuclear Bomb's gone off.

I love Adelaide's gown. Gorgeous and so perfect for a Winter Wedding. Only thing I don't like is how she's wearing the veil apart from the Tiara. I don't like that look at all and think it looks a bit sloppy. I'd love to see that trend go by the way side in Bridal looks. That's just me though.

The little ones look adorable and love the colour choices for them.

As far as Tessy and isn't she or is she, just remember this...

She's wearing a very dark colour and that can really trick the eye and be very slimming.

I'm just sayin...

I'd love Tessy to be but the pix at the religious wedding contradict it....

[Zonk]

In regard the pregnancy speculation regarding Tessy, it's time to move on.

As previously stated it is speculative until it is confirmed by the Grand Ducal court or its just plain obvious (as they did not previously confirm Prince Noah). Either way, its off topic.

Thanks!

None of the Nassau and Liechtenstein cousins?
No one from Belgium?

The newest Archduchess of Austria was a really fairytale-bride.

I wish them all the best for their marriage.

I believe that marie-astrid isnt the only one 'recycling' an outfit (in her case a suit that her mother wore during the enthronement of GD henri). Is it possible that marie-christine wears a coat and hat that was worn by archduchess catharina at another wedding? The outfit looks very familiar.

Did any other Habsburgs attend apart from the immidiate family?

The wedding seemed to have a fantastic atmosphere! Christophe seems like such a relaxed, charming man and Adelaide is so princessy - demure, quiet and distinguished.

I wasn't a fan of the wedding dress or the outfits of the page Boys and flower girls or the bride's maid. But I loved that Adelaide wore a tiara of the gd family - as opposed to Kathleen: wonder if there was a special reason to this, maybe the fact the wedding was in Washington so fairly far from Luxembourg to ship jewels of importance? - and her gorgeous white civil wedding ceremony outfit. I wonder who made it for her - same designer as the religious ceremony dress? I think it was a great choice.

Otherwise and as usual I loved seeing the Luxembourg ladies, MT, stephanie, tessy, claire and alexandra, there's a lovely vibe about them when they are together. The Lux family is perhaps the one I most get a genuine sense of closeness, and stephanie, tessy, claire are great additions to an otherwise male dominated family :)

According to this site Luxembourg: First Impressions the religious wedding dress was a custom Diane Lelys and it seems they only make wedding dresses: Diane Lelys - Cratrice de robes de marie, robes de soire, baptme, cortge , so the dress she wore at the civil ceremony was most likely made by another designer.

thanks meraude. but i was talking about the white suit and checked jacket adelaide wore the day before (i think): picture here below.

i wonder what christoph and adelaide saw in the crowds for such expressive pictures as the ones in this picture:

maybe they recognised friends among the crowds?

Yes, she has at least one brother and one sister (who was her bridesmaid)

I really dislike how her veil and gown are different in color.
