That's a different couple: princess Marie of Edinburgh and crown prince Ferdinand of Romania who got married in 1893 (later king and queen of Romania) - more precisely on 10 January 1893 at Sigmaringen Castle.

This thread is about princess Marie Louise of Bourbon-Parma and prince Ferdinand of Bulgaria (a decade after Marie Louise's death he became tsar Ferdinand of Bulgaria) who also got married in 1893 - but on 20 April 1893 at the Villa Pianore in Lucca.
