So two have married royal ( or princely ?). Regardless, I'm certain they are happy with their choices.

Magnik, thanks for the info. I always thought that Sophie married first but I was wrong.

the bridal gown is just the similar to CP Mary of Denmark's wedding dress in the style, except the color~

Crown princess Mary had lace on the shirt of her dress. This is not the case here.
But is similiar in style to the gowns worn by all of her sisters. They all have worn this floral tiara and the same 200 years old veil.

I was browsing through the photos of This wedding and the Schaumberg-lippe wedding, Is Princess Elisabeth of BAvaria wearing the same dress to both of them?

 

[leonardinha]

Yes, and Marie-Anna's dress is much more refined.

Fürst/Fürstin is a german Title which is translated as prince in the english language therfore i used the german version.

The title of Fürst distinguishes the Head of a Princely House from the other princes of the family. The Fürstin is his wife.

 

[Stefan]

The title of Fürst distinguishes the Head of a Princely House from the other princes of the family. The Fürstin is his wife.

Not always. For example in the german noble Family all members bear the Title Fürst/Fürstin. And in the Families Urach and Hohenberg the Head is Herzog (Duke) and the other members are Fürst/Fürstin.

When I was in Germany, I saw a report of the wedding on the news. The location looked very regal and beautiful.

They showed an interview with Duke Franz, the bride's uncle, and he seemed very pleased and charming.

I wouldn't necessarily call the Bavarian Royal House a minor royal, but non-reigning. They have a history that goes back as far as the Hapsburgs and in the Middle Ages they were considered more powerful than the Hapsburgs. For awhile Bavarian duchesses were very prized brides of the largest houses in Europe.

You are right. There are at least two Bavarian princesses marrying kings (or future kings) of France for example: Isabella of Bavaria married Charles VI in 1385, and Maria Christina of Bavaria married the heir of Louis XIV in 1680.

Back to Princess Maria-Anna: very nice dress and tiara!!

Until 1918 they were on reigned one of the four Kingdoms in Germany. And the reigned in bavaria for 700 years.

There where many more.

Elisabeth (12801-1873) married King Friedrich Wilhelm IV. of Prussia
Amalie (1801-1877) married King Johann of Saxony
Marie (1805-1877) married King Friedrich August II. of Saxony
Sophie (1805-1872) married Achduke Franz Karl of Austria and was the mother of Emperor Franz Joseph I.

From the ducal line
Elisabeth (1837-1898) married Emperor Franz Joseph I. of Austria
her niece Elisabeth (1876-1965) married King Albert I. of the Belgians

Thanks stefan and magnik. I didn't know that Elisabeth of Belgium was the niece of Elisabeth of Austria. They don't seem to have looked a thing alike.

Going back to weddings, wasn't the Oktoberfest in Munich originally part of the celebrations for a royal Bavarian wedding? I remember reading the original plans included a hunting party for the aristocrats and the common people wanted a celebration too so the King decreed a beer festival to take place so long as the vendors would not be allowed to sell food. It seems an excuse for public drunkenness but perhaps that discussion is for another thread.

 

[magnik]

Yes. The first OF took place on 1810 from 12 to 17 October for the commemoration of the marriage of CP Ludwig (Ludwig I and uncle of the Empress Elisabeth "Sissi") and Princess Therese of Saxe-Altenburg, Duchess of Sachsen.

Thanks magnik. Its curious the Wikipedia article doesn't mention the hunting party though.
