I really don't like the dress, I think it make her to look fat, shapeless! I don't mind the hippie theme, is that I do not think show her the best! the hear and the flowers beautiful! where is the baby any photo of his sister?
I think you made some very excellent points. I absolutely agree with you. It seems that (except maybe intermittently for Princess Caroline) none of the Grimaldi seems to accept their role. As you say, the opposite from what Ranier and Grace tried to do. It's a pity, really. It's not just that they don't want to be seen as royal; they seem to defy and resist their status. We are at a paradox where "bourgeois" women and men (such as Kate Middleton or Mary of Denmark) are more "royal" than the royals.
They did release a "couple of official pictures".
I think that being that they are both fatherless and already have a baby "official" pictures of the kind that are usually released in these occasions would have been out of place.
Also, it was their day, not their son's.
I agree with the choice they made and I don't feel that they "owe" the public (us) anything just because he happens to be the "title-less" nephew of a sovereign prince who waited 50 years to get married and still has no legitimate heirs. Andrea's "unwanted" position as second in line to the throne ( hopefully, only temporary for him and his wife) does not oblige him to act as, say Prince William. It's a much different dynasty/situation. I am more surprised that they didn't acknowledge their son's birth rather than not having been "gifted" with two stuffy pictures. (Incidentally, I think they will acknowledge Sacha's existence after he will be christened in - I'm sure - a very private ceremony, to take place possibly after or at the same time as their parents' religious wedding).
I'm glad for them (and in fact, given that they belong to the Grimaldis I'm glad they married at all...) and that they had a day which seemed to be exactly what they wanted.
I agree with all the comments above by Andolini and Moonmaiden: well said!!
may be you are right how old is the baby? just that in her position you would think she would have the best diet and training for this special day!Oh I thought she looked wonderful. She just had a baby, and if that's "fat" then I will take fat any day LOL!

You have perhaps looked at too many pics of post baby Hollywood starlets and thought they they represented normal.

I think I express my thoughts wrong, I think the dress make her to look shepless, it does not mean she is fat, the dress does not give her any shape it is a loose dress and this is what I don't like it! may be she still have the post partum baby fat so that's the reason she choose a loose dress!? hope for a stuning gown for the ceremony in winter
Ye Gods you and I agree for once. about body weight hereYou have perhaps looked at too many pics of post baby Hollywood starlets and thought they they represented normal.
I think they, including Albert and Charléne, consider themselves more of a jet set-celebrity-family rather than a royal one, and it seems they don´t want to be seen as such.
I cannot help myself, but I´ve never reckoned Stéphanie for instance as "Princess", more a wealthy jet-set-lady from the Cote d´ Azur. When they attend european royal weddings or jubilees, they seem to be strangely misplaced.
Living in circus-trucks, dozends of children out of wedlock, affairs, divorces etc. is the opposite of what Rainier and Grace once built up.
Don´t get me wrong - I have nothing against Andrea and his new wife, as I do not even know them. But this "royal Game" in terms of the Grimaldis is quite a farce to me.

I have no doubt that the Grimaldis do not consider themselves Royal, and for good reason...they aren't. The current Ruling Family are descended from the Ducs de Polignac, which is a Princely/Aristocratic line and not a Royal one.
Anyway, as nontraditional as their behavior is I think it's a bit hypocritical to pretend they are that much different than all the other so called "Royal" families today. We have two divorcees who will be Queen someday, another who is a confessed drug abuser and party girl, an heir to the Throne caught talking dirty to his married mistress on tape, and a Royal prince who may be about to marry his reality TV/soft porn model girlfriend. Those are just a few I can think of right off the top.
Are the Grimaldis really so awful in comparison? I don't think so.
Why must a civil ceremony take place first, when the Catholic Church does not recognize civil marriages in the first place?
In the USA you get your marriage license from the local records of deeds office and then can be married by any authorized judge, lawyer, priest, minister. They sign the license along with 2 witnesses and it is submitted for recording. No need for 2 ceremonies. Your Choice in who marries you.

I wonder how accurate it is about Gad when it says "Outside the Grimaldi family, Prince Albert and Charlene of Monaco in particular the "crowned heads were missing." They were there.Gossip from Pipole, which quotes Closer: Pierre and Gad were Andrea's witnesses at the wedding.
