Engagement AD Imre/Kathleen Walker & AD Christoph/Adelaide Drapé-Friche

[sleepyvalentina]

Apparently Adelaïde will wear a dress from Diane Lelys (not very promising) and a tiara from the groom's family. Among Christoph's witnesses his brother Imre and Louis of Luxembourg.
Before the wedding the bride will leave a bouquet at the Chapel of the Cordeliers for the Habsburg-Lorraine ancestors. Marie Antoinette left flowers at the chapel on her way to her marriage in Paris: http://www.estrepublicain...t-d-adelaide-aux-ancetres

So she IS getting a tiara. Well, to be fair, tiars and stretch hummers don't exactly go well together.

She's wearing a tiara from Christophe's family!   Love it!  Katie could easily have been lent one, but looks like MA chose otherwise.  

Not too impressed with Diane Lelys' designs, but Adelaide has never struck me as a fashionista.  Can't wait to see pics.

Looked at the pics at the website.

Royalement Blog's FB page has some pics:



I would never have recognized Adelaide.  She looks pretty.

Alas, I'm on an iPad so it won't play for me. Any screen shots of the dress and tiara?

No.  She's not wearing those until tomorrow (the religious wedding).  This was the civil ceremony.

Thank you Pixiecat  

The article from L'Est Républicain states that Adélaïde followed the tradition for Habsburgs brides by deposing a bouquet of white roses on the tombs from the Lorraine ducal family at the Cordeliers church.
There was also a rehearsal for the wedding ceremony this afternoon at the Cathedral. People from Nancy are also invited to join the ceremony at the Cathedral tomorrow morning.

Oh, ok. I thought this was the big one.

I was getting ready to investigate Steph's bustline and stomach curvature for the hint of a baby GD.

And I was totally psyched to see Claire out-style everyone within a 20 block radius!

And the bride seems quite cute and nice (Is she a fanatic like that other one?). But she's wearing black to her civil wedding ceremony. Isn't that weird? It seems weird.

The groom needs to get rid of his unibrow.

You're welcome, Elissa!

I personally don't see any resemblance between Adelaide and Katie   Hope she leaves the bright red lipstick and stretch Hummer at home   One tacky wedding is enough IMO. 

I wonder if she'll wear that Habsbourg veil?  Katie and Marie-Christine wore it for their weddings.  I'm not holding out much hope for the dress.  That designer's collection is awful.

[Clara]

Thanks Pixiecat! 
IIRC she'll wear a veil from her family. I think I've read the veil info somewhere but I could also be making it up or confusing her with another bride 
And I read some comments about the dress from the designer, IIRC she called it sober, I'm afraid we'll see a nun habit tomorrow 

I don't see any resemblance between the brothers' brides besides prominent noses (nothing alike though) and long hair.

Thanks Clara!  I like that Habsbourg veil, but it's kind of thick-looking due to the lace design.  

If that designer called it sober, then you're right-nun frock for Adelaide  I guess I'm not surprised.

Sober = potato sack that extends to the finger tips, drags on the floor and comes up to the bride's eyeballs.
