Princess Alexandra of Luxembourg and Mr Nicolas Bagory will get married in a Civil Ceremony on Saturday, April 22nd at the Town Hall in Luxembourg-City, Luxembourg. There will then be a Religious Ceremony at Saint Trophyme church in Bormes-les-Mimosas, France on April 29th.

The Luxembourg government does not recognize religious weddings, so a civil ceremony must be performed. 

Q&A

April 22nd - Civil Ceremony in Luxembourg

The Civil Ceremony is performed to meet Luxembourg's legal requirements for marriage. It is usually a smaller event, with just family and close friends attending. The bride and groom will wear more businessy outfits. 

The public is invited to welcome the couple and Royal Family at Guillaume Square, in front of the Town Hall.

April 29th - Religious Wedding in France

The couple's religious wedding will take place at Saint Trophyme church in Bormes-les-Mimosas, France.  This ceremony is the "normal wedding" ceremony. It will be larger with extended, family friends. The Bride & Groom will wear more traditional wedding outfits. 

I would expect this to be a more private event, compared to the Civil Ceremony. But, I do expect we will get some photos.
