Prince Bernhard was born in Salem, on May 27th 1970, while Stephanie Anne was born in Uelzen, on June 27th 1966.
It means that he was 31 and she 34 years old.

Quite a lovely bride. What did she do prior to her becoming a Princess?

I don't know... perhaps someone can say it...
All I know is that Bernhard studied business administration and he runs the family's estate, besides being the president of the race meeting of Baden-Baden.
