I'm curious as to whether the invitation labeled her as Countess given her disputed or questionable ancestry.

Considering her husband the archduke's family comes from a non-disputed royal line, and yet has no tiara for a bride to wear don't know what that proves
Carl Christian's daughters/in law have had to borrow from Luxembourg.
Russian noble family could have 1. either lost it during revolution 2.sold it after revolution 3. it been inherited by another line like why Carl Christian does not have one, because his mother's was inherited by his older brother.
Like Kathleen she is clearly wearing a headpiece of some kind, just not a tiars.
Actually there is a tiara in this branch of the Family. The peacock tiara of Archduchess Yolande which was worn by both of Carl Christian's sister and his sister-in-law and several daughter-in-laws of his older brother.
As for the change of location: Though the much-circulated article was petty and personal in its tone, I did not detect any suggestion in it that the writer wanted to stalk the bride or photobomb the wedding (and even in that hypothetical case, on-site security surely could take care of a stalker or two). The theories about saving costs and/or wanting to be close to the groom's grandmother who was nearing the end of her life seem more plausible explanations for the switch.
Well to be fair, there is a section on the forums about questionable titles so it what it is. No one is saying she’s less worthy of marrying Alexander because she’s not noble, but claiming to be a noble or creating stories about having a title isn’t necessary. The Habsburgs may not be a ruling family now, but most people know that they were at one point a ruling family so comparing a formerly ruling family to a person who is claiming to noble pretensions is a bit off.I find the discussion around the bride’s title quite amusing. The groom himself is using a title from a republic. The Habsburg’s reign ended in 1918, over 100 years ago! You could say that they are also using a pretend title.
Where is Marie Christine, where are the Liechtensteins?
Strange that Margaretha didn' t attend.
