It's amazing, isn't it? Things must be pretty quiet in the Sarkozy/Bruni household for this to happen!

Nice that PdV is actually paying attention to the wedding (as they did to the Orleans-Cadaval one), finally an issue that I will buy and read with pleasure. The bride-to-be looks very refined btw.

Marengo,
Thanks for the video!
It has been my pleasure to see Ms.Rachida Dati performing duties as a mayor in one of Paris' city districts. The couple seems to be happy.

Did you know, that the wedding dress of P. Philomena de France has been created by Christian Le Croix?

[Thribette]

It was created by Christian Lacroix, an adaptation of his collection wedding dress.
The original dress is in this link (you click on the photo, then it is PP; 54-55) :

Tilla,
I am aware of the fact that both gowns worn by Princess Philomena were created by Christian Lacroix. Ribbons and lace paired with exquisite embroidery might be viewed as his signature features. The wedding gown was a bit overloaded to my taste. At the same time, the above dress was a masterful interpretation of the haute couture gown.
