One of the most memorable days in a person’s life is their wedding day. It all comes together after months or years of planning to give your guests a celebration they’ll never forget. If you’re a royal, however, you can afford to throw a lavish wedding. Take a look at these 30+ extravagant royal weddings!
Prince Johan Friso – Orange-Nassau
Mabel Wisse Smit married Dutch royal Prince Johan Friso of Orange-Nassau in style in 2004. The bride looked lovely in a silk gown from Viktor & Rolf, a Dutch fashion house. Despite Mabel’s impeccable and timeless personal style, the day had not been easy. Because the marriage was outlawed by the Dutch government, her husband gave up his status as second in line to the Dutch throne in order to marry her! Her deep ties to the criminal underworld are the cause.
Princess Madeleine – Sweden
Princess Madeline, the second daughter and youngest child of King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia of Sweden, married a man of no noble ancestry! She was completely smitten by banker Christopher O’Neill, who was born in the United Kingdom but now lives in the United States. Many foreign royals, including Princess Takamado of Japan, were present at the wedding. What, on the other hand, was the most memorable aspect of the ceremony? A wedding cake made up of almost 700 macarons in the shape of a towering pyramid!
