The bride and groom have good family connections. Princess Rosalie's mother, Duchess Margarete, is the daughter of Duke Peter of Oldenburg and Princess Gertrud of Löwenstein-Wertheim-Freudenberg. Margarete's first cousins include Christian, Duke of Oldenburg and Andreas, Prince of Leiningen. The Prince of Löwenstein-Wertheim-Freudenberg is also a first cousin.
Rosalie was named for her great-grandmother, Rosalie von Heyden-Linden (1894-1942) who married Prince Anton Croy in 1922.
Conrad's mother is a first cousin of Hereditary Count Karl Eugen of Neipperg, heir apparent to his father, the Count of Neipperg, and who is married to Archduchess Andrea of Austria, eldest daughter of the late Archduke Otto.
The late Altgrave Niklas' mother was Princess Irene of Thurn und Taxis.
