I am not sure if the bride's grand father attended the religious wedding, so Bertil would have been the appropriate man to give her away, as the princess' father wasn't alive anymore.

Princess Birgitta holds a very special place in my royal watching heart. Growing up she was the almost scandalous princess and much more intersting to follow than her two sisters (Christina was too young) that were much more proper in their behaviour. I always secretly hoped she and Tumba would get married.

Princess Birgitta's wedding gown was made by the dressmaking school Martaskolan.

St. Johann in Sigmaringen was such a wonderful setting for the wedding Mass.
