Georg Friedrich and Sophie - Wedding Day
In the morning of the Wedding Day i meet very early with Gabi and Anuschka as wehad no Press-Accredition unlike Stig, netty and Sofia. So we soon went to the church and secured us a place just outside the Entrance Gate which to the the part of the Park sorrounding the Church. There we meet another Royal Watcher, Ingrid which we know already from other Events. Around 10h00 the first guests started to arrive among them the bride older brother, hereditary prince Alexander of Isenburg. We asked him for a pic which we good and he said"there will a come a lot more important guests". And soon the guests arrvied. Luckily for us most of the guests walked along the "Allee nach Sanssoucci" the street whch goes to the Gate. As there were also some Press-people next to us we had the luck that someof the guests also posed for us. Only some guests arrived with Cars but they had to go out of the Car before the gates. Short before 12h00 the Families arrived first the birdes mother, Fürstin Chrstine of Isenburg together with the grooms stepfatehr, Duke Friedrich August of Oldenbrug, followed by the birdes sisters Archduchess Katharina of Austria-Este with her husband Archduke Martine and Fürstin isabelle zu Wied with her husband Fürst Carl. and some of theri children. Soon after the beaming groom arrive together with his mother, Duchess Donata of Oldenbrug and his sister, Pricness Cornelie-Cécile. And not much later a silvers Roll-Royce which belongs to a friend of the groom arrived with the birde and her father. They where the only one who drove through the gates. The bidewore a bridal gown designed by Wolfgang Joop and a heirloom Veil from the Isenbrug Family from around 1830 together with a floral tiara from the posession of the Isenbrug Family. Both tiara and Veil had also be worn by theirs sisters on their Wedding Days and are traditional worn by the Pricncesses of the Isenburg-Family on their Wedding days. Short later the Wedding Service started. As the bride is catholic and the groom protestant it was a ecumenical Service officiated by PastorJürgen Wohlrab from the "Kaiserin-Auguste Viktoria Stiftung" whiich is located at the Ölberg at jerusalem and the retitred about Coutn Joseph Henckel of Donnersmarck. I decided not to wait until the Service had ended and together with Gabi and Ingrid went to the Neue Kammern next to Sanssoucci Castle where the Reception after the Wedding took place. Just when we arrived there we could see the carriage which the bridal Couple would take after the Wedding Service leaving to the Church. We then secured us a good spot to watch the arrival of the bridal Couple there but unfortunately just when the Carriage arrvied some photographers took their place just before us so we hadn't a very good sight. As they carriage had arrived the Couple posed for a short moment for the photographers and then went inside. And soon after the guests started to arrive. Somea arrived in buses and Cars and others had walked through the Park. As the recpetuion would not last for to long i decided there to stay and wait until the birdal Coupkle wouldleave. Unfortunately at some point it startet to rain though not to strong. As there are 2 entrances we didn't know which one the couple would use as they had entered through the other entrance then most of the guests. We then asked the security people there and they siad "It is planed they will leave here"- Just some mintues later we some going on at the other entrance and it was the Couiple leaving. We run up and where there just in time to see the Couple driving back to their Hotels. They same did we no also and later we meet up with Anuschka, Sofia, Netty and Stig to have dinner. We originall had planned to go to the Orangerie in the evening to see the guests arrive there for the Dinner Dansart but as already in the afternoon roads where closed there we deciced not to go and stay at the Luisenplatz where some of the Hotely are in which the guests stayed. And we could see quiet a few there. The first one was Duke Franz of Bavaria, and we also saw the Fürst and Fürstin zu Castell-Castellm the Fürst and Fürstin zu Löwenstein-Wertheim-Rosenberg and a few more.
