The festivities began at exactly 10:00 yesterday morning with a carriage drive through Los Bouxiana by Their Imperial Majesties, The Royal Family and the various visiting Royals. The Bride, as per tradition, rode alone through the capital in the Queen Mary Couch, but was met at the door of the Cathedral by her father, the Argentinstanian King. They processed down the aisle to the Handel's Arrival of The Queen of Sheba, and were met at the altar by Prince Rainer and The Archbishop of Los Bouxiana, William Adam Lambert. After during the customary deference to the altar, the ceremony began. Conducted by the Archbishop, it followed the well-established order of weddings in the Dou Bouxian Church: they both promised to be faithful and true to each other and to honour and cherish each other till death do they part. With the signing of the three marriage registers, a uniquely Royal tradition, all was official. The newly created Prince and Princess of Santana (the King-Emperor having bestowed the title on Prince Rainer yesterday morning) paid homage to the King-Emperor and Queen-Empress and the King and Queen of Argentinstan and left the Cathedral to greet the millions of well-wishers eager to see the newly-weds.
Another carriage procession to the Imperial Palace for the reception followed. The reception took the form of a State Lunch for some five hundred important guests. A ball later that evening, for some one thousand five hundred, lasted last into the night. The details of the couple's honeymoon have not yet been released, except that they will be spending part of it Semolia at the invittation of the Royal Family.
Hopefully this is the start of a bright new future for the Prince and Princess!
