Royal Bride: Grand Duke of Luxembourg Henri and María Teresa Mestre y Batista-Falla
On February 14, 1981, Henri of Luxembourg married Cuban-born María Teresa Mestre y Batista-Falla after meeting her while both were studying at the University of Geneva. I absolutely love her smile and total love she has for him.
This is one of my favorite brides and one that trully stands the test of time. Her daughters in law, Stephanie and Claire sure follow in her steps.

Some like the horses and the race some the royals while some, myself included, love the Royal Ascot for the outstanding hats it offers on display. Some are crazy and downright ridiculous but we love them anyway. The British ladies know how to make a statement when one is imperiously necessary.
