Prince Ludwig of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Sayn and Countess Philippa Spanocchi were married on Saturday at the Jacobskirche in Rohrbach, Austria.  A reception followed at the bride's home, Schloss Sprinzenstein.  The couple were married in a civil ceremony at Schloss Sayn in May.  Prince Louis is the third child  of the Prince and Princess of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Sayn.  His bride is the daughter of Count and Countess Hieronymous Spanocchi.

The bride's gown was designed by the Linz-based designer Gottfried, and she wore a tiara and veil that has been worn by Sayn-Wittgenstein-Sayn brides for the past 150 years.  The bride's attendents were young children, Philippa Karamat, Countess Elisabeth Hunyadi, Countess Anna-Maria of Schönborn-Buchheim, Counts Clemens and Philipp of Schönborn-Buchheim and Prince Alexander of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg.
