Getting married is one of the most special occasions in a person’s life. A lot of time and effort goes into making your party one to remember for your guests. In contrast, royals can afford to throw extravagant weddings. The world’s most lavish royal weddings can be found here!
Prince Johan Friso – Orange-Nassau
Royal Dutch Prince Johan of Orange-Nassau married Mabel Wisse Smit in style in 2004. The Dutch fashion house Viktor & Rolf’s silk gown looked stunning on the bride. It had been a difficult day, despite Mabel’s impeccable and timeless personal style. The Dutch government forbade the marriage, so her husband, the second in line to the Dutch throne, gave up his position to marry her! It’s because of her close ties with the criminal underworld.
Princess Madeleine – Sweden
King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden’s second and youngest daughter, Princess Madeline, married a man with no noble lineage! As a banker born in the United Kingdom, Christopher O’Neill, she fell head over heels for him. The wedding was attended by a number of foreign royals, including the Japanese Princess Takamado. Contrarily, what was the most enduring memory you have of this ceremony? Almost 700 macarons in the shape of a pyramid for a wedding cake!
