When a royal prince marries a fashion designer, you know you’re in for a treat: and the weekend’s wedding between Prince Ernst August and Ekaterina of Hanover certainly delivered.
Following a low-key civil ceremony the week before, the wedding celebration at Hanover Market Church in Hanover, Germany, was suitably extravagant, complete with horse-drawn carriages, national costumes and a huge public turnout.

Prince Ernst August of Hanover, 33, met his new wife, Russian fashion designer Ekaterina Malysheva, 31, at a London party six years ago, reports Harper’s Bazaar UK, and the Prince proposed while the couple was holidaying in Greece.
The bride wore a beautifully embellished gown by Sandra Mansour.
The occasion was marred by the absence of the groom’s father, Prince Ernst-August V, who has publicly denounced the marriage. He told German paper Handelsblatt in the lead-up to the wedding that he felt forced to act “in order to preserve the interests of the House of Hanover and the property, including cultural property, which has been its property for centuries.”
