The ceremony took place in the park of the Danish castle
Shit Gavnø, belonging to Baron
Ridts- Reedtz-Thott.
One should rather render Gavnø properly yoficated as Гавнё in Russian to avoid mixing it up with the dative and prepositional cases of a very uncouth word! And the Barons Reedtz-Thott have nothing to do with Ritz. Reedtz, the name of a noble family hailing from Pomerania can easily be spelled Рец, as it's a Slavic placename quite common in East Germany, a diminutive form of
reka, river. (K developing into ts just like in cæsar / kaiser > tsesar / tsar.)
