Princess Antonia of Salm-Salm's silk wedding gown was "simply elegant," and was complemented by a three meter long brocade train and a tiara. The bridal veil and the tiara were also worn by the bride's mother, Princess Philippa, when she married Prince Michael of Salm-Salm in 1977
The wedding, a Roman Catholic service at Salm-Salm's parish church, St. Laurentius, and the reception that followed at Schloss Wallhausen, the bride's home, was the culmination of five days of celebration. The groom, 29-year-old Count Clemens von Mirbach-Harff, had his bachelor party on Tuesday. The couple's civil marriage took place at Rüdesheim on Wednesday. The bridal soiree was held on Thursday.
A family friend, Father Johannes Eltz, was the officiating minister. He had known the bridegroom since the latter was 13-years-old.
In lieu of wedding gifts, the newlyweds asked for donations for a charity that works with disabled children in Kenya and Lebanon.
The photo was taken by Beate Vogt-Gladigau.
The groom is referred to as Count Clemens. One assumes that the information was provided by the family. Clemens' father, Antonius, is the head of the family, and the only one entitled to be called Count. His children are Barons. But the news articles refer to Clemens as Graf (Count). He is running the family estate at Gut Ingenfeld.
