The wedding celebrations of Princess Viktoria Luise and Prince Ernst August ended with the Fackeltanz. The Fackeltanz was a torch dance. This dance was only performed at German royal weddings. No one below the rank of Royal Highness was allowed to take part.

The wedding dress of Princess Viktoria Luise had a large court train of silver brocade.

Some time before she met Ernst August, she wanted to marry Count Georg von Fugger Babenhausen, but the Kaiser refused this. Luckily she was happily married to Ernst August.

The Fackeltanz has its roots in the court ceremonial of Emperor Constantine (272-337) and was later customary at several German courts as well as the English, French and Danish courts. At the Prussian court the dance looked as follows: Twelve male princes, assisted by pagers, carried burning torches in their hands. In the first round the bride and groom dance alone, after which in the second round the bride invited the emperor and then the other highnesses. Finally, the groom danced with the empress and the princesses. Initially the dance would have ended with the newlyweds being led to their bed.
A variety of the Fackeltanz was also a tradition at Swedish royal weddings until King Carl XIV Johan vetoed its use at the wedding of his son Prince Oscar to Princess Josephine of Leuchtenberg in 1823. In Sweden it was instead the members of the Royal Council that danced for the newlyweds after they had been put into bed.

I've read somewhere that the dance has been performed many times at post-WWII German weddings. One of them the wedding of Prince Georg Wilhelm of Hannover to Princess Sophie of Greece/Hesse.
