Lengths of the wedding gown trains

[udyusa]

I just 'discovered' them through this forum and after reading their story, I too, was moved to tears. Even the ending was from a fairy tale in that it was so tragic and yet, so very real...
Thank you for answering me.

Could you remember where you saw the Photo...? I would love to see it if possible...... Thanks

Yes, you are so right LadyLeana, theirs was truly a beautiful Love. Even next door in Holland, where I hail from, they were admired and loved. Fabiola was dignified and yet beautifully humble with it......and very Graceful. A true Queen.... They were both obviously very much in Love, and it showed......(PS: Why would one marry anyone just for a Throne...?)

CP Mathilde's train was also considerable, and very elegant and beautiful. I've no idea how long exactly though.
She also had difficulty walking.

Her Train is lovely too, but nowhere as imposing and beautiful as Fabiola's I think. It falls too narrow at the front as well...... But She does have a lovely smile!

My aplologies if my comment is out of order, but their story has always moved me.

Actually, I am happy you made that post about their Love, as that saved me doing it. And perhaps in a way it is apropos anyway, because when the Love is SO beautiful one would love the Bride to be even more radiant and beautiful....
