What a bumper year for royal weddings 2011 continues to be. The next royal couple to marry this year His Serene Highness Prince Albert of Monaco and Charlene Wittstock.
I found it fascinating that the Monaco soverign prince marries once in a civil service and again in a Catholic service.
The Catholic ceremony was held in the palace grounds. Interestingly not in the cathedral they have but in the courtyard. How stressful must that be for the couple. I mean, my brothers wedding was outside and even though it was a gorgeous day we were all a little nervous it would rain.
What an amazing dress. So simple and elegant. I am a particular fan of the neckline and how simply it added to the dress. Much like Kate Middleton brought back* the sleeves I think this will begin its own trend.
Congratulations to the happy couple. May you live happily and eventually (like Kate and Diana) may Charlene move out of the shadow of the mother-in-law she never met as the incredible partner for her royal partner.
Next up Zara Phillips and Mike Tindall who will marry at the end of the month in Scotland.

*it can be annoying how they say that as soon as a famous person wears something its brought back. Sleeves on a royal wedding dress are the norm, although it is true that in the main brides wear strapless. Personally I have always considered having sleeves, funnily enough to stand out from all the brides (my sisters included) that haven't had sleeves.
