Princess Stephanie of Luxembourg and Crown Prince Guillaume of Luxembourg Wedding photos
One of the biggest days in Luxembourg's not hugely-illustrious history has finally arrived.
Earlier today the wedding of Prince Guillaume, the heir to the throne
- the grand duke-to-be - and Belgian Countess Stephanie de Lannoy took place at the Cathedral of our Lady of Luxembourg.
A
huge guest list of foreign royal families and dignitaries filled the
church to watch the ceremony in the tiny (but very wealthy) country.

Accompanied by her father, Count
Phillipe de Lannoy, the 28-year-old bride, wore an Elie Saab dress, with
a four-metre (13 feet) train as walked down the aisle.
The dress featured three-quarter length sleeves and a silk tulle veil, and was also adorned with a silver floral motif.
The
ceremony, which was conducted in a mixture of French and English, and
featured a minute's silence for Stephanie's late mother Countess Alix de
Lannoy, who died in August this year.
The two-day wedding celebrations cost an estimated 500,000 euros (paid by the
Luxembourg taxpayer), and included free concerts, street shows and a giant
fireworks display.
The
guest list for the religious
ceremony included kings, queens, princes and princesses from European
countries including, among others, Belgium, Norway, Sweden,
Lichtenstein, Denmark, the Netherlands, Romania and Britain, which sent
Prince Edward, Queen Elizabeth's youngest child, and his wife,
Sophie.
