Congratulations to them! Wonderful news
Should it be unheard of in aristocracy and royalty?
To be official, the family must have accepted it well.
Congratulations to the two brides!
While there are many out gay nobles and aristocrats the only marriages I know of are:I'm curious as well. The article implies Doña María will be the first member of the house of Hohenlohe to marry somebody of the same sex, but what about members of other Spanish or German aristocratic families? [...]
I don’t think that is the case of the Medinaceli Ducal family, the title had not remained with patrilineal descendants of the first title holder anyways so it probably didn’t make a difference and titles have been shared among members.I'm curious as well.

Hopefully there will be photographs from the wedding. Does the family own any historic tiaras which they might wear?
I don't think parental consent is a requirement for marriages in the Spanish aristocracy. The consent of the King was historically required for marriages of Grandees, but that requirement fell into disuse quite a long time ago.
I know nothing about the family, but María's second cousin Victoria von Hohenlohe applied to succeed as Duchess of Medinaceli rather than stepping aside for her younger brother as some Spanish heiresses have decided or been pressed into doing. Perhaps that indicates that the family is accepting of equality and does not insist its members follow the concept of a traditional patriarchal family?
From the article it appears that Doña Carlota, other than being female, is a traditional Spanish aristocratic bride, having graduated from the same primary school as the King and being from a family which moves in the same circles as the Duke of Alba.

The accepting of equality or traditional patriarchal noble holding because the family aren’t patrilineal descendants of the first title holder anyways. Plus there were many titles split/shared amongst the Medinaceli family and Victoria got her inheritance portion from the Duke of Sergorbe.You don't think what is the case?
