Gosh ! I am impressed with the bride's mother !
As if she had been dragged in against her will...
Or is the lady sick ? Not the happiest face the day of her daughter's wedding...

[Lucien]

Dear Eric,merci beaucoup pour toute!!

Wonderfull pictures.Thank you for all the work,allthough,I think you had as much pleasure making the photos as we have watching them.

[Eric VdV]

I am convinced now that the lady in pink in the company of Archduchess Margherita of Austria-Este, is her eldest daughter Archduchess Maria Beatrix of Austria-Este, Countess von Arco-Zinneberg. The lady in black is her eldest daughter Countess Anna-Teresa von Arco-Zinneberg. French version of 'Royals' magazine has a clear picture.
Additional guest: Prince Pierre d'Arenberg.
