Princess Tseyang Palmo & Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche 2006

i posted this over the weekend but it appears to have disappeared so here it is again. From the Chronicle Herald of June 10, 2006:

The Cunard Event Centre on the Halifax waterfront had a busy opening weekend, as almost 1,500 people gathered from around the globe to witness the marriage of Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche and Princess Tseyang Palmo.

Sakyong Rinpoche is the eldest son of Trungpa Rinpoche, the founder of Shambhala Buddhism. His marriage to the princess represents a significant linking of lineages for Buddhists around the world.

The princess wore a chuba, a Tibetan garment of embroidered white silk, with her black hair in a single plait.

Lady Diana, the wife of the groom’s late father, presided over the ceremony, performing purification ceremonies and blessing the couples’ union.

The bride’s family members came from Tibet to join in the celebrations, and Ms. Bonzi said other members of the Shambhala community came from as far away as Europe and Chile.

The bride and groom were married in a civil service in Colorado last summer, and Ms. Bonzi said they will eventually have a third "less westernized" wedding for the bride’s side of the family in India

Wonderful thread! I just love to wath Weddings like these, where nobles married with nobles, and where everyone was aristocratic.

Princess Anne d'Orléans was one of the most elegant brides of ever, imo (Thanks Hannelore for the pics).
The same I say about Maria de Hohenlohe Langenburg de la Quadra (Thanks mtbcm). Their class, beauty and sophistication are an example for all.
