:rose:Was there any particular reason why they chose to arrive by boat????

:rose: Boat would have certainly taken far far longer than and airplane. Why was going by boat chosen???:heartflower:
 
There are many reasons:Grace did not like flying,and arriving by ship is more visual ,more spectacular with Onassis´s helicopter throwing red and white flowers like the monegasque flag:monacoflag:

This is one of my favorite look and outfit of hers. Love the hat, and the photographers did too, because it provided just the right amount of shade for her face.

This is one of the best Grace's gowns.:flowers:

In 1955, Prince Rainier first gave Grace an friendship ring of diamonds and rubies. As for her engagement ring, it was a twelve-carat -emerald-cut diamond ring.:previous:
Grace's white gown was made by Branell.
The silk dress was subsequently touted as «To Catch A Prince» after photos were published of Grace wearing it. Accompanying this dress will be her stunning engagement ring.:curtsey::twohearts:

To catch a prince? I think that more suitable will be: To catch Grace:) Rainer was very lucky.
