The older Guillaume looks really proud of his son. Sweet. I've only ever heard good things about him and his wife Sibilla.

Quick aside, the HGD is P-L's godfather, as well as his cousin. I suspect that is why he attended. P-L did one of the readings at the 2012 wedding for this reason....

Nice to see Gui support his godson and cousin.

Zeno is Italian name with Greek root (Ζηνων) mean of Zeus, or of life. Usually you hear it in north Italy.
Very cool name in my opinion. I have a cub named like that In my scout group.
Not a single idea about the other one is it spanish/portoguise?

Cajetan - "Caieta" (now Gaeta) - form of the Italian given name Gaetano, which meant "from Caieta". Caieta (now called Gaeta) a town in ancient Italy, its name deriving either from Kaiadas, the name a Greek location where prisoners were executed, or else from Caieta, the name of the nurse of Aeneas. Saint Gaetano was a 16th-century Italian priest who founded the Theatines.
People with this name include: Thomas Cajetan (1469–1534), Italian Dominican theologian, cardinal, and opponent of Martin Luther.

And of course the Alba family, like the late duchess and the current duke.

According to the Spanish magazine, VANITATIS, Prince Jean's son, Prince Constantin, was married yesterday in a civil ceremony:

Royal wedding and surprise in Luxembourg: a nephew of the Grand Duke marries his son's mother

Last surprise royal link of 2020, a year that has been characterized by secret weddings that we did not know about until they had already happened, such as that of Beatrice of York and Edo Mapelli, Eleonore of Habsburg and Jérome d'Ambrosio, Philippos of Greece and Nina Flohr, and Princess Raiyah of Jordan with Ned Donovan. And the last to sign up for this new trend caused by the coronavirus is Constantin of Luxembourg. This Tuesday, the prince gave the 'yes, I do' to his girlfriend of many years, Kathryn Mechie, in a civil ceremony. The couple already have a common child, Felix, who came into the world two years ago, but it was at this time that they wanted to pass by the altar. The little one did not miss the big date, sitting on his mother's lap and very attentive to everything that was going on around him.

For her big day, Kathryn opted for a white dress with an original neckline and long sleeves. The bride left her hair loose combed with waves and was barely wearing any jewelry. The bouquet was created around white lilies.

The groom is the second child of Prince Jean of Luxembourg, brother of Grand Duke Henry, and Héléne Vestur, whose marriage has a curious history. Jean met Héléne at a party and they started a romantic relationship. Although they had been dating for a short time, she became pregnant and the two decided to move on. Nine months later Marie-Gabrielle, the eldest, came into the world. She married Tono Willms a few years ago in Marbella in a dress designed by Caprile. They are parents of two children, Zeno and Cajetan.

As a daughter born out of wedlock, Marie-Gabrielle received no title. When she was barely a year old, her parents decided to marry and soon she became an older sister with the arrival of Constantin, who has now married, Wenceslas and Carl-Johan. Although his parents were already married, Grand Duke Jean also did not grant any title to Marie-Gabrielle's brothers.

The problem was that Grand Duchess Josephine-Charlotte did not accept Héléne and never wanted to meet her. With her grandchildren, she was a little more permissive and saw them from time to time. It was not until 1995 that the former Grand Duke ceded to the sons of Jean and Héléne the title of Counts of Nassau. In 2004, the now Grand Duke Henri decided that his nephews should live up to the rest of the family and turned them into princes with treatment of His Highness. Despite this 'ascent', they still have no dynastic rights and are not in the line of succession to the Luxembourg throne.

(I'm not sure if the wedding took place in Luxembourg or not. Constantin's sister, Marie-Gabrielle, had her civil ceremony in Luxembourg, but later married in Spain.)

Eurohistory says the wedding was civil and took place in Gibraltar.  Congratulations to the couple --but her dress!  The neckline!
