Upon returning to Hannover from Bückeburg on 6 July I wanted to bring some things back to my hotel before dinner. My friends and I had actually agreed to meet about 15 minutes later at the entrance of the Marktkirche (Market Church). Little did I know that I never would end up in the hotel […]

Because the civil wedding of Prince Ernst August von Hannover Junior and Ekaterina Malysheva was to take place on Thursday 6 July 2017, I travelled to Hannover the previous afternoon. For me it is only an almost four-hours train ride, which unfortunately because of some delay turned into an hour extra. I met up with […]
Palace of Herrenhausen
If you ever visit Hannover you shouldn’t miss the Herrenhäuser Gärten, especially not in the Spring and Summer. The place where Prince Ernst August von Hannover Jr and Ekaterina Malysheva today will hold a reception after their wedding in the Marktkirche in Hannover is a beautiful place. I have no idea where in the gardens […]
Today the civil wedding of Prince Ernst August von Hannover Jr and Ekaterina Malysheva will take place in the New City Hall (Neues Rathaus) in Hannover, Germany. An impressive building I visited three years ago. It is a mighty building which rather looks like a castle as a city hall. The designer was Hermann Eggert, […]

Yet another wedding. The wedding season started in April and at the moments there seem to big royal or noble weddings each Saturday. On Saturday 1 July 2017 Philipp Lovrek married Countess Alice zu Königsegg-Aulendorf at the Parish Church St. Martin in Aulendorf. The civil wedding already took place at Königseggwald on 1 May 2017.

You can’t have a much more royal wedding. On 24 June 2017 Count Constantin Fugger von Babenhausen married Princess Sophie zu Löwenstein-Wertheim-Freudenberg at the Stiftskirche in Wertheim, Germany. Two members of mediatized royal families marrying each other. It still happens, although less often of course than in the past. Interestingly also the mothers of bride […]
Although the marriage of the Fürst zu Schaumburg-Lippe has unfortunately ended, I still have good memories of my first visit to his main residence, the small town of Bückeburg, not that far from Hannover, Germany. In the days around the wedding on 30 June 2007 my friends and I had a real good time. We […]
The actual wedding of Count Constantin Fugger von Babenhausen and Princess Sophie zu Löwenstein-Wertheim-Freudenberg took place on Saturday 24 June 2017 in Wertheim. But more about the wedding in a later post, as it doesn’t happen often that I get a few nice pictures of a Polterabend, the pre-party that took place the previous evening. […]

Nobles and royals who are getting married do have the same problem as any other couple that gets married. The wedding venue is often the easiest part, at least if the family still occupies a family castle. But otherwise also they have to find themselves one. And of course there is the flower decoration. How […]

What are the things you absolutely shouldn’t do when being a guest or a fan at a royal wedding. I am sure there are some things you all can think of. Even royals and nobles sometimes do the wrong thing. Don’t wear huge hats, even when they look lovely on you. The people sitting behind […]
