Yes, I read about that. Rixa and her siblings were not present at Georg-Friedrich's wedding last year. I wonder if Rixa's father was? Has he chosen sides of his step children over his own children?

Duchess Rixa von Oldenburg, 42, married Stephan Sanders at the Nienstedtener Kirche at Hamburg-Nienstedten on October 13, 2012. Duchess Rixa is one of three children of Duke Friedrich August of Oldenburg and his first wife, Princess Marie Cecile of Prussia. She was given away by her brother...

I believe it was the ring she wore on her middle finger on the left hand. Her engagement ring was on her right hand (ring finger) and Guillaume put the wedding band on her left hand ring finger.

Stephanie didn't have that "wow" factor for me. The dress was beautiful but something was lacking. The hair was nice but I would have preferred the veil on the top (not at the back) and her makeup was very muted. Still elegant but understated and underwhelming for ME.

They used a lot of traditional music but even if they had used the Latin chants, the mass itself was not in the latin/tridentine form (which makes it a high mass or not). However, it was still a very reverent nuptial mass. :smile:

Princess Caroline looks amazing. No doubt wearing Chanel.

FYI, this was not a high mass. The wedding of Archduke Imre was a high mass. I'm sorry I missed the balcony scene! Now the feed is gone. Oh well :flowers: No doubt Henri and MT can't believe their firstborn is married. It's a great day for Luxembourg.

Are those Belgian and Luxembourg soldiers? Nice touch! I've never seen applause at a wedding.

I'm sure they are glad that's done!

And we're all posting our opinions here because it's a forum to do so. No need to police what we're posting and call others "nasty." Good day to you. Congrats to Gui and Stephanie! Have Imre and Katie been spotted?

Love the presentation of the bouquet to Mary. I think we're entitled to compare. :flowers: Everyone doesn't have to agree. It's okay. No one said anything disparaging. Let's lighten up. Papal blessing!

We're entitled to our difference of opinion. :flowers: Actually, I do have Victoria and Daniel's wedding in my mind as the most romantic wedding. I know, different circumstances. Stephanie was so severe at the beginning. She hardly looked at Guillaume. Very true, people react differently...

The ceremony is underwhelming and there isn't a lot of emotion between them. I agree with dress is a dream but one can see Stephanie is not overly fussy and simple.

I thought Catholics generally baptize ASAP.

Was Princess Isabelle ever baptized?
