There was a civil ceremony in Vaduz, Liechtenstein, a few days before the New York wedding. It's not at all uncommon for the members of the Liechtenstein princely family to marry outside of Liechtenstein. Max's brother, Constantin, married in a civil ceremony in Vaduz and had his religious ceremony in Slovakia. Prince Alexander, the son of Prince Philipp and Princess Isabelle (Max's aunt and uncle), married in a civil ceremony in Vaduz and a religious ceremony in Salzburg.
