Can you please post this pic again?
Thanks in advance:)
And on another completely different thing: did you realized how young this generation's Royals looked back then? an example of that is this picture:

Infanta Elena de Borbón married Don Jaime de Marichalar (member of a noble family of Castile), on March 18th 1995, at the Cathedral of Seville. Doña Elena chose for that reason a Sevillian designer for her wedding gown: Petro Valverde.
Forty-two royal houses from around the world were represented in the Andalusian capital for the wedding of the year, thus demonstrating the international projection of the Spanish Monarchy.
Rafael Juliá was the restaurant in charge of the banquet, which was served to the 1300 guests, in the Reales Alcázares.
Further information bout the bride's dress and tiara can be found here:

I remember reading an article about Infanta Elena's wedding day. It is hard to believe that eleven years have passed so quickly. Elena was a beautiful bride that day.

It's fun to look back, this is around the time I took an interest in the Royal Houses. A majority of these pictures I've never seen before. I'm glad I checked this out.

It is only 11 years ago and some of the royal family has aged a lot in that time. King Juan Carlos has changed the most.

In December 2001, he had a stroke , which caused a paralysis of the left side of his body. He was assisted in the Hospital Gregorio Marañón and, after that, they moved to the US, where he received physiotherapy treatments. Thankfully, he's now pratically recovered.

I don't know if it was already written, but do you know where both Infantas went for their honeymoons? I have never read anything about it...
