H.H. Princess Nathalie of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg and Mr. Alexander Johannsmann: Information About the Upcoming Religious Wedding

In the latest edition of the Danish magazine, Billed Bladet, it was announced that Her Majesty Queen Margrethe II, H.R.H. Prince Henrik, T.R.H.s Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary will, in fact, attend the religious wedding of H.H. Princess Nathalie of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg and Mr. Alexander Johannsmann on June 18, 2011, in Bad Berleburg, Germany.

Unfortunately, T.R.H.s Prince Joachim and Princess Marie of Denmark will not attend.  The reason for their absence:  Prince Joachim will be regent while the queen and the crown prince will be at the wedding.

Over 200 guests have been invited to the religious wedding including the Greek royal family as well as smaller non-reigning princely families from Germany.  According to Billed Bladet:

…stage is set for two days of celebration for the wedding. On Friday June 17, there will be an evening barbecue on the lawn at Schloss Berleburg.  The next day will be the wedding at the evangelical church in Bad Berleburg and the ceremony begins at 17:00 (5pm.)

After the ceremony there will be a reception in the courtyard of Schloss Berleburg.  In the evening,  family and close friends have been invited to the big wedding dinner and party in a tent behind Schloss Berleburg. The invitation says the dress code is white for the men and long dresses for ladies.

‘I’m in the process of planning and’ve mastered the details’, says Princess Benedikte.

HSH Princess Nathalie of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg and Mr. Alexander Johannsmann’s Religious Wedding Set for June 18, 2011

It was announced this afternoon, March 3, 2011, per the official website for the Royal House of Denmark, that HSH Princess Nathalie of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg and Mr. Alexander Johannsmann’s religious wedding ceremony will take place on June 18, 2011 at the Evangelical Church in Bad Berleburg.

The lovely couple, who met some years ago when Mr. Johannsmann visited the Schloss Berleburg horse stables, are actually already married.  Civilly that is; the couple were married last on May 27, 2010, at the chapel at Schloss Berleburg.  The couple also have a son named, Konstantin Gustav Heinrich Richard.

The religious ceremony, which will begin at 5pm, will take place at the Evangelical Church in Bad Berleburg because the chapel at the Schloss is simply too small.  Over a hundred guests are expected.  The dress attire for upcoming religious wedding will be white tie for the men and tiaras and gowns for the women.  It is unknown how many royals will attend, but one thing is for sure HM Queen Margrethe and Prince Henrik of Denmark along with HRH Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary of Denmark will attend.  Also, the entire Greek royal family will attend because they never miss a wedding.  Why?  Well, as long as there is free food and cameras around the Greek royals well be there.  Furthermore, I’m going to take a wild guess and say that perhaps one or two German non-reigning royal and princely houses will attend such as the extended family members from the Princely House of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg,  Grand Ducal House of Hesse, and perhaps (and this is a stretch) HSH The Hereditary Prince Hubertus and Hereditary Princess Kelly of Saxe-Coburg und Gotha as well as members from the Princely House of Schaumburg-Lippe.

More details about the wedding are still coming in so stay tuned.
