The couple met at university 5 years ago, both studying maths. At first there was no real contact but when Alexandre got hurt in a rugby match, Anne-Cécile came to his rescue ...
Alexandre later quit the study and became a landscape architect, studying at the English Garden School in London and has set up his own company, les Frères Sécateurs and has projects in Shanghai, Dubai, Beijing etc.

Elsa M,
Thanks for the pics of Prince Hans-Adam von Liechtenstein & Countess Marie Kinsky von Wichinitz 1967. Talk about loving looks and gestures! The body language, the looks, and touching definitely says love. How romantic!:)

Obrigada (thanks) to Cathérine, Sofia and Elsa! :)

I could spend hours and hours watching all these pics you posted. I love the bouquet of Anne-Cécile, it seemed a very romantic wedding. The same I must say about the dress of Countess Marie Kinsky von Wichinitz: simple, romantic, elegant and so Chic!!

I adore this picture http://img153.imageshack.us/my.php?i...nen00086yy.jpg (Posted by Cathérine, point de vue)

Imo, she's more pretty and elegant than any other bride of Hollywood movies.

I also love that photo, Regina. The gorgeous hairdo seems to be one of Alexandre's famous art pieces... :)

I just love the back of Anne-Cécile's wedding dress (the buttons I mean). It's so beautiful. If it was my wedding, I probably wouldn't have had the jacket and just made the whole dress long-sleeved. Her bouquet was just beautiful as well. The fan was a nice addition as well. Thanks for all the photos.

Same here! her hair style, sprinkled with these white flowers, just so "Kaiserin Sissi"-like, sooo romantic and refreshing, such a relief to, for once, not see a long veil (although I'm a sucker for veils, I can appreciate deviation now and then too
There was a ton of sophistication about this bride, she's my favorite 2006 royal bride so far I think.

Default Prince Alexander of Yugoslavia & Princess Maria Pia de Savoy 1955

Prince Alexander of Yugoslavia (*1924) married Princess Maria Pia de Savoy (*1934) in Cascais (Portugal), on February 15th 1955. Six hundred aristocratic guests crowed into the little church, while thousands of people jammed the village streets, to see the wedding party.

The simple ceremony took only seven minutes, since no mass was celebrated, because the bride was a Roman Catholic and the groom a member of the Greek Orthodox Church.

Prince Alexander was the son of the exiled Prince Paul of Yugoslavia, while the bride was the daughter of King Umberto of Italy.
