Princess Birgitta of Sweden & Prince Johann of Hohenzollern: May 25 and July 31, 1961


If you have answers, please help by responding to the unanswered posts.
The civil wedding was at Stockholm on May 25th 1961, the couple married religiously at Sigmaringen on May 30th 1960.
 
Why was Prince Bertil of Sweden with the bride for the catholic wedding at Sigmaringen ??
 
I am not sure if the bride's grand father attended the religious wedding, so Bertil would have been the appropriate man to give her away, as the princess' father wasn't alive anymore.
 
Princess Birgitta holds a very special place in my royal watching heart. Growing up she was the almost scandalous princess and much more intersting to follow than her two sisters (Christina was too young) that were much more proper in their behaviour. I always secretly hoped she and Tumba would get married.
 
Princess Birgitta's wedding gown was made by the dressmaking school Martaskolan.
 
St. Johann in Sigmaringen was such a wonderful setting for the wedding Mass.
