EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph, Princess Marie of Edinburgh and Prince Ferdinand Victor of Romania exchange vows during their Church of England wedding ceremony on 10 January 1893. The romantic scene unfolds in the elegant dining room of Sigmaringen Castle, with the newlyweds standing before an ornate fireplace adorned with garlands of flowers. The bride, resplendent in a long-sleeved, high-necked gown and veil, gazes lovingly at her groom, who wears the uniform of a Romanian officer. Behind the couple, their proud parents look on approvingly. The bride's mother, Grand Duchess Marie Alexandrovna of Russia, dressed in a simple yet elegant gown, holds a bouquet of flowers. Her husband, Prince Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh (later Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha), stands tall and regal in his military uniform. The Church of England ceremony marked the union of two European royal families, as Princess Marie was the eldest daughter of the Duke of Edinburgh and Grand Duchess Marie Alexandrovna, while Prince Ferdinand was the eldest son of the former King of Romania, Carol I. The couple's marriage was a significant event in European royal history, and their union would produce five children, including the future King Carol II of Romania. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the opulence and grandeur of a royal wedding ceremony over a century ago. The elegant decor, the regal attire, and the tender moment between the newlyweds make this image a timeless treasure in the annals of royal history.
