Thank you all for your kind words.
Thank you very much Elsa for all your precious help.
I hope all of you to enjoy this wedding as much as I did and still do.
For me, Infanta Cristina is the epythome of an elegant bride. No detail overshadows other details.
I apologise if in this long posting I made some mistakes in the legends or whatsoever.
Moderators have, all the time, my posts at their disposal to proceed in which way they consider it necessary.
Regards to you all.

Mtbcm was so kind as to scan this old article from Hola:

The veil that Infanta Cristina shone on her wedding day has already been given back to the national museum of anthropology. Pedro Manuel Berges, director of the Museum says: "The Royal House paid all the restoration expenses”. The veil, which was used by Queen Maria Cristina of Habsburg on her wedding day, was bought by the Museum in 1981 for 200 000 pesetas and now it could worth many millions.

After being used by Doña Cristina, the veil has returned to its place of origin, and there we were able to speak with Pedro Manuel Berges Soriano, director of the Museum.
- Has Infanta Cristina at any moment seen it?
- No, she did not come, but I sent some photos through her adviser, so she could make a perfect idea of how the veil would like.

- What was the state of the veil by then?
- At that moment, it was not possible to be used, because it had the tul ragged. The embroiders were perfect, but the tul was at its very last stage. We agreed that the Royal House would recover the veil. They asked me how much it would cost and I said that it would reach a million pesetas as top. And the Royal House agreed to pay this amount.

- Which is the history of this veil?
- It was ordered by the archduchess of Austria for the wedding of her daughter, Maria Cristina to Alfonso XII. Between Queen Maria Cristina and Infanta Cristina the veil was also used by one queen and two infantas. On May 13th, 1906 Victoria Eugenia de Wattemberg married Alfonso XIII. When the nuptial courtship (with the kings in cart) was passing by Calla Mayor, the well-known assault took place. The royal couple was unharmed, but the veil underwent some damages that were immediately restored.

A lot of royals went to Infanta Cristina's wedding, quite strange for someone who (at the time) was third in the succesion line, there were more guests than at her sister's wedding
anyone knows why?

I don't know why, but she is my favorite of the Spanish Royal Family. She and her husband just seem to "Fit".

I don't think that's accurate at all... Infanta Elena's wedding was HUGE and it was attended by representatives of 42 royal houses from around the world... we just may have perhaps less photographs, since it took in 1995 and, at that time, photo agencies didn't store their photos online...

Just looking back at the pictures again...so lovely and they really are a most perfect couple
