They were not among the guests of Princess Jacinthe d' Orleans Baptism at Dreux.
The Duke of Vendome prefers to have the Duke d'Angou, the Duke of Angoulème and the Duke of Castro ad guests. I never understood why Nicholas de Roumanie was invited for the former Baptism

I think we shouldn't draw any significance for the fact they were not present at the baptism…. maybe they were on honeymoon or engaged elsewhere

That has nothing to do with Nicolae and Alina-Maria's wedding. Nicolae and Alina-Maria are having a honeymoon in Romania, Alina-Maria wrote about it to her Instagram 5 days ago.

Video of Nicolae and Alina-Maria's wedding waltz. They must have trained it a lot. I hope Nicolae will publish a better video at his Youtube of this lovely dance.

Vlad Oprea, the Mayor of Sinaia, was involved in the wedding of Nicolae and Alina-Maria, and one of the guests.

On their wedding day he wrote to his Facebook:
"Dear Nicolae,
Dear Alina,
Sinaia has always been home to the kings of Romania.
Regardless of the time and challenges they had to go through, they returned home.
The monarchy exists where people recognize it, where kindness is more precious than a title.
Today I witnessed the continuity of the royal family.
The only prince, grandson of the great king, found his princess.
I have the duty to serve Sinaia,
You have the duty to serve the Romanians.
Romania loves you.
Love her too.
I wish you a long life, like in fairy tales about princes and princesses!"

Ostafi Photography, which Nicolae and Alina-Maria had chosen to take photos at their wedding, has published a wonderful gallery from the wedding at their website.

"At the royal wedding - Alina and Nicolae of Romania

Beautiful stories must be told. Beautiful stories are unfortunately rare, so when we have one, we want to see it, to know it, to be able to tell it further. Who would not want to live a story? A story of love, a family story, a happy ending story. The main ingredients of a beautiful story are the characters. And when you have as a main character a prince ... how not to write a beautiful story? A story like those we read or were read to when we were children. A story that we also read to our children. It's nice to know that Romania still has a say.
The most beautiful stories are the real ones. The most beautiful love stories are those which do not need descriptions, are the ones you see, and you realize that there is "sparkle." The most beautiful stories charge you with energy, make you believe in the good future in people. What can be more of a story than a prince and a princess at their wedding?
We are pleased, happy, grateful to have participated and photographed the most ... unique wedding of modern Romania. All moments are unique, but few are meant to remain in history. Our images are for the joy of Romania, for Alina-Maria and Nicolae al României."

Such a delightful young couple and so full of love, hope their future is bright and full of love. Their wedding cake was the most beautiful of all wedding cakes any royal couple had out there, the design was so elegant.
 
Nicolae published today at his website this video of their wedding day. It is beautiful, great, very impressive, with the speech of the mayor of Sinaia Vlad Oprea in the beginning. All the details shown, the happiness of the couple, Nicolae's speech, the speech of the godfather Liviu Popescu, the wedding waltz, the reading of the young girl (the daughter of their godparents) ... Lovely!

Wow, if you're talking about putting yourself in the professional market as a national symbol: Nicholas and Alina from Romania have made a professional film about their wedding.
So Nicholas - hugely popular in Romania - got married as a citizen with Alina, in what was considered to be a Royal Wedding in Romania. Even the priest simply called the groom Prince Nicholas in the ceremony.
The speeches, tears of the bride, Nicolas who does not know what he sees when he first sees Alina in her dress, his sweet sister, the first dance of the bride and groom - it is a divine piece of soppy romance of a couple who understands how important image is. Even though legally they have no leg to stand on and Margaret does everything to keep them outside the palace, this couple is really threatening to become the unofficial royal couple. Well played, Nicholas.

Three months after the wedding in Romania, the images also appear for the first time. This is a romantic assortment of Prince Nicolae's wedding with Alina Binder, a boycott ceremony of the whole royal family, which took place in the town of Sinaia.

Thank you LF, that was such a beautiful pictures of the 2 of them. I really loved her gown except the back was a bit low for my taste, the embellishment on the gown and on the sleeves made it a very romantic gown, soft and becoming. They make such a beautiful couple and I really hope they succeed in their dreams for their country...other royals in Romania look very bitter and unhappy all the time!

Nicholas is not a crown prince. Previously he had been Prince Nicholas. However, his grandfather King Michael removed his title of Prince from him.

He never was a Crown Prince. His mother and aunts were not successors even. When King Michael proposed a new succession it looked like this:

Princess Margareta

Princess Elena
Nicholas Michael Medforth-Mills - REMOVED
Elizabeth Karina Medforth-Mills

Princess Irina - REMOVED
Michael Torsten Kreuger - REMOVED
Kohen Kreuger - REMOVED
Angelica Margareta Bianca Kreuger - REMOVED
Courtney Bianca Knight - REMOVED
Diana Knight - REMOVED

Princess Sophia
Élisabeth-Marie Bianca Elena Biarneix

Princess Maria

Would you know why did the late King Michael I removed her daughter Princess Irina from the line of succession?

His daughter Princess Irina was involved in the organization of illegal gambling, including cockfights. However a crime, for me personally it is questionable for a removal. In normal situations a successor looses his/her right by severe crimes or acts of treason. But King Michael apparently did demand a spotless and ethic parcours from his descendants. And certainly it did not matter to King Michael that the children and grandchildren of Princess Irina had nothing to do with their (grand-)parents' activities: they were removed as well.

The old King certainly seeemd quite strict in terms of standards required from those with HRH Prince/Princess. I wonder if, in part, the fact he stripped his own daughter and grandchildren of their titles for a relatively minor illegal act (though of course still a crime) meant he felt he had to strip Nicholas of his title when it was known he had fathered a child out of wedlock.

Imagine Queen Elizabeth II would strip William, and in one go George, Charlotte and Louis as well. That would be unheard of. In this sense King Michael was pretty unpredictable and ruthless. Note that he removed Princess Sophie and her daughter Élisabeth out of the Royal House because he (rightly) disagreed with Alain Biarneix, a proven fantast, as son-in-law. After Princess Sophia's divorce, she and Élisabeth returned in the King's grace and favour. So we have to wait to see Nicholas welcomed back by his mother Princess Elena, the current Heiress.

I think the late King Michael was so strict for one reason. It might be because he was only protecting the dignity of the Royal House of Romania, most especially since, he issued a statute promulgating the new Fundamental Rules of the Royal Family of Romania in 2007 (with the absence of the parliament.)

In the statute it declares the abolition of Salic Law should monarchy be restored in Romania and prohibits foreigners from the line of succession (the Lambrinos and the House of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen.)

I read an article before saying that Nicholas was stripped off of his Princely status due to not adhering to "principled modesty and morality."

The key lies with Nicholas. A spotless parcours and loyalty and adherence to his mother Princess Elena and his aunt Princess Margareta. Then hoping and waiting to return in grace and favour. It happened before: see Nicholas' aunt Princess Sophia and his cousine Élisabeth Biarneix. I think the outcome of the Swiss investigation and eventual juridical procedure blurs it all a bit.

I certainly hope so. Romanian monarchy restoration is one possible thing to happen in the future compared to other deposed royal families. I hope he'll be there to support his aunt and mom.

The monarchy will most likely never be restored. The system which functions now: a republic with a Royal House in a ceremonial and representative role, is the best they can dream about. And it actually fills the democractic deficit of a monarchy: the Romanians have all positions of state elected in a democratic process, at the same time they find it desirable to conserve what ties them to the past. Well done, Romania.

This is nothing new: between 1581 and 1814 the Netherlands were a Republic (which did not at all meant any democratic process by the way) with the House of Orange-Nassau occupying the highest position of said Republic by hereditary succession indeed.
 
What happens after in the future the death of the current popular Crown Princess is anyone's guess but for now they have it as good as stated as it gets under the current system.
