Spanish Prince Is Doubly Lucky!
Wednesday May 26, 2004
The heir to the Spanish Crown, Prince Felipe, wed Letizia Ortiz, a divorced TV Journalist, on Saturday May 22nd at Almudena Cathedral. But a wife wasn't the only thing he won that day. The couple received two lottery tickets as a wedding gift, which turned out to be winners gaining them $14,460!
The bride wore an off-white gown by Manuel Pertegaz, featuring long sleeves, a v-neck, and a standing portrait collar. She also wore a long veil and a 15-foot train, which was embroidered with heraldic symbols. She carried white lilies of the valley, and sported a diamond and platinum tiara, the same one that Queen Sofia wore to her wedding to King Juan Carlos. The bride, now Princess Letizia of Asturias, is the first commoner to be in line to the throne. She and the Prince dated for less than a year, and their November engagement took the country by surprise.
Prince Felipe wore his army uniform, including his medals from the army, navy and airforce.
At the wedding, the church was filled with the sounds of a symphony orchestra and a 70-member choir, as well as the scents of thousands of roses and carnations. The prince's five nieces and nephews served as flower-bearers.
The 1400 guests included Britain's Prince Charles, Jordan's Queen Rania and South African president Nelson Mandela.
