The Duke and Duchess of Oldenburg and their family are very private, which meant Rastede residents knew nothing about the wedding in advance.

The bride and her father arrived at the church in a carriage.   She was attended by eight flower girls.  Prince Paul Esterhazy was Count Clemen's best man.

The newlyweds returned to Schloss Rastede where the reception was held.  Once the summer residence of the Oldenburg ducal family, the Schloss is still owned by the head of the family, although it is no longer a primary residence.  

The Schloss is not open to the public.
