77 Royal & Noble wedding photographs

This was an interesting find.

-> UPDATED: Royal weddings - Beaumont Enterprise

(The Beaumont Enterprise is a newspaper headquartered in Texas)

The link brings up a portfolio of 77 photographs of largely royal and noble weddings starting with the marriage of Infanta Isabel Alfonso of Spain (Princess of the Two-Sicilies) to Count Jan Kanty Zamoyski in 1929, and going through to 2010 and the wedding of Prince Nikolaos of Greece and Tatiana Blatnik.

There are some interesting and rarely seen photos in the archive.
For those interested in historical weddings, and even more recent ones, it's a little treasure trove. Enjoy.

Not sure where this belongs, but...

I'm in Switzerland this month, and today we visited Schloss Oberhofen, near Bern. There were a number of weddings going on there, and there was also a large exhibition of wedding photographs and other memorabilia.
Among the photographs were some of various royals and a few little films, including a lovely Pathe newsreel of Prince George and Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon.

Additionally, there was a small ceramic plate denoting the marriage of W-A and Maxima, and a fairly good replica of Kate's wedding gown.

But the most hilarious and tasteless item was a book of paper dolls called "Chuck and Di Have a Baby". On the cover, Charles was dressed in what appeared to be a white, tank-style undershirt with white boxer shorts, both of which were emblazoned with a royal crest. Diana, looking quite stout, but not pregnant, wore what seemed to be a yellow satin, lace-trimmed teddy. This item was not for sale in the gift shop.

I´m sorry to correct you and I hope it is okay.

Laurentien and Constantijn didn´t marry in the 90ies but in 2001.

1950: Prince Rainier and Grace Kelly
1960: (I´m not sure: Princess Margaret)
1970: Princess Anne and Mark Philipps(as the first child of the Queen)
2000´s: Mette-Marit and Haakon

Princess Margaret Rose of England did marry Antony Armstrong-Jones in 1960.
