Thanks for the info.! :)

As with Crown Princess Victoria's wedding, I will need to mark off that date. I'm glad it's on a Saturday, more importantly on the weekend, perfect time to take it easy & watch it all on the internet. As I did with Victoria's wedding.

Oh my gosh, I wonder if they will have a concert the night before, like Victoria & Daniel had? That was a true delight to watch!!!! *clapping*

And the cake, the dignitaries from all over the world, the religious ceremony itself, who will be the bridesmaids & the bridegrooms, and most important of all (to me at least, lol) what will the wedding dress look like!?!

I definitely have to go watch Prince Rainier & Grace Kelly's wedding on the internet to whet my appetite.

CONGRATULATIONS, ALBERT & CHARLENE, ON SETTING THE WEDDING DATE!

I'm glad they've put everyone out of their misery by announcing the dates.

I second that Renata...no backing out now, eh?!

But why is 23 an unlucky number? June 23rd is my birthday so now you have me worried!

Do we know which Cathedral Church has been selected?

rosana · #**304** 07-23-2010, 01:26 AM

There´s only one Cathedral in Moncao.

Moonmaiden23 · #**305** 07-23-2010, 01:34 AM

That's why I said Cathedral CHURCH....anyway I am sure everyone knows what I meant.

Nadine · #**306** 07-23-2010, 03:11 AM

Moonmaiden, your post about the Belgium Royal Family on that other thread got me thinking about whom I would like to attend Prince Albert & Charlene's wedding, lol.

Hint hint, Prince Amedeo of Belgium. *Nadine, smiling slyly* (;^)

As for entertainment, I really did enjoy the concert for Crown Princess Victoria & Daniel the night before, in particular the spectacular "Swan Lake" performance and the sing-along to the lyrics of "Can't Help Falling in Love With You".

On that note, I would love it if Amy Winehouse (please, no derogatory comments, I love this woman's singing) were to perform the following:

His Imperial Highness Prince Amedeo is one of Europe's unsung Royal hunks...I would love to see him with Charlotte Casiraghi...what beautiful children they would produce!!

Who knows...maybe we will get to see him at PA/CW wedding....

Since it says a "Celebration" does that mean like a reception or does it mean something like a blessing kinda what Charles and Camilla did?

Whatever a Cathedral church is, and if there is any in the principality, St Nicholas is the only place where big celebrations are held in Monaco, so there´s no point in asking where this wedding is going to take place.

Renata4711 · #**310** 07-23-2010, 07:54 AM

I don't think that's right.

They haven't released info on which church/cathedral will be used.

Renata4711 · #**311** 07-23-2010, 07:57 AM

Imperial Highness ?? How so?

He's a Belgian prince and an archduke, and a youngster.

Princess Robijn · #**312** 07-23-2010, 08:02 AM

He is His Imperial and Royal Highness. Therefore, also His Imperial Highness.

Who else would we want to see at the Monaco wedding?

My choice would be: the children of Monaco.

Lighthouse · #**314** 07-23-2010, 10:15 AM

Just not bus loads of screaming school kids..

Horseygal · #**315** 07-23-2010, 12:35 PM

We know that Prince Albert's children will probably be invited to attend their father's wedding, but are Princess Caroline's and Princess Stephanie's kids required to have formal roles in the wedding (maybe Andrea as best man; Princess Alex as a flower girl, etc). Obviously, they will attend, but is there any royal responsibility for them to have a role in the wedding ceremony?

I disagree...there was some discussion a few days ago about whether or not the wedding might take place at the beautiful Church of St. Charles.

I agree that it will probably take place at St Nicholas, but since it hasn't been announced yet I don't think it was a pointless question at all.

I hope Albert's children will be there but it hard to say. None of Princess Caroline's kids or Stephanie's are required to be there although I think and hope they will. They have no royal obligation to do so.

I don't think they will be at Albert's wedding, but it would be interesting to see them there, if they go.
About the royal responsability...only Albert knows. I mean, yes, they are in line to the throne and all that but as it's his wedding, i guess he'll decide who he wants as a best man, or flower girl, with Charlene.

Is there a bridal party tradition in the Monagasque RF?

Good question. I don't think so, especially since Grace and Rainier's wedding was largely run like a Hollywood production. Grace chose her friends and sisters as bridesmaids.
