I also think that the weather was a considerabel reason the spectators did not see much after the wedding. As they had to hold umbrella's over the bridal Couple to protect them from the rain.

Princes Astrid,Archduchess of Este was beaming throughout the day and there were wonderful photos of her embracing her daughter afterwards.

Update:

Aurora Alberica Peters (b.2016) and Eulalia Dorothea (b.2017) Peters are daughters of the bride maternal second cousin Maria Alberica San Martino d'Aglie (b.1989) & her husband Jan-Christoph Peters (b.1977).

Father of Maria Alberica Peters, nee San Martino d'Aglie is Nicolo San Martino d'Aglie, Marchese di Fontanetto con San Germano (b.1948), maternal first cousin of Princess Astrid; his mother was late eldest sister of Queen Paola, Donna Maria-Cristina Ruffo di Calabria (1920-2003) who married Casimiro San Martino d'Aglie, Marchese di Fontanetto con San Germano (1903-1988) when Paola was only 3 years old
Nicolo's eldest sister Emanuela is just four years younger than Paola

Where did the couple go on honeymoon?

[Tatiana Maria]

For some strange reason the King chose not to acknowledge his niece's wedding in the official agenda on monarchie.be. There were entries there for Prince Amedeo's engagement and wedding, and Princess Maria Laura's engagement.

I wonder if he was offended at Princess Astrid's family issuing their own announcements about the wedding.

According to the pre-wedding press conference the Jewish influence would be heard in the songs sung at the wedding (a mix of Jewish and Catholic songs). See this post for links and details:

HRH Princess Astrid: "I have a feeling I'm going to be very moved. But I would like to say that Laura and William's wedding is an enormous occasion for us. As it was with Amedeo's wedding. But that didn't take place in Belgium. Which adds a whole other dimension this time. But Laura wanted to emphasize her Belgianness. She wanted to marry in Brussels where she was born and educated. She loves her city!"
