Royals Wed Their Own Way
Apparently, there was yet another royal wedding this year, and I missed it. Prince Albert II of Monaco married the South African national swimming champion, now Her Serene Highness, Princess Charlene of Monaco, on July 1st. After years of waiting on the part of the Princess-to-be, amid speculation and rumors, Albert and Charlene finally took their vows in front of almost all of their 7,810 adult Monegasque subjects at the Grimaldis’ medieval palace.

So, I was relieved to finally see Catherine in her delicate, simple, yet elegant royal wedding gown, in which she could actually move and breathe. Let’s just hope the dress is indicative of a lovely, livable, long marriage to come! Read more »
