About the pre-wedding ball, from Diário de Notícias (with black & white photos):

It says it was a glamourous event, with the roman temple of Diana as cenary. Women were wearing gowns and men smokings.

About today's ceremony, it adds that the wedding was presided by D. Jorge Quintal Maurílio de Gouveia (the emeritus archbishop of Évora), along with Father Girault (from the Orléans Cathedral) and Father Senra Coelho (from the St. John The Evangelist Chapel, at the Cadaval Ducal Palace). The music was performed by the Voces Caeleste Choir, whose members belong to one of the best Portuguese Choirs, the Gulbenkian Choir.
The bride, as well as the flowergirls, were dressed by Carolina Herrera.
