Prince Constantijn and Princess Laurentien of the Netherlands were among the illustrious guests who saw socialite Vanessa von Bismarck wed 35-year-old investor Maximilian Weiner in Aumuhle, Germany, on Saturday.
The 34-year-old bride tied the knot at the Bismarck Mausoleum, where her great-great-grandfather Otto Eduard Leopold von Bismarck-Schonhausen – the first chancellor of the German Empire – is buried. The weekend religious ceremony, for which Vanessa wore a lace gown and sparkling tiara, followed a low-key civil wedding held in Aumuhle on Thursday.
Also among the guests were Vanessa's father, real estate developer Ferdinand von Bismarck, and Princess Lilly zu Sayn-Wittgenstein, who is due to give birth this summer, with her husband, Lambros Milona.
Vanessa, who graduated from London's European Business School with a degree in Marketing and International Business Administration, is a partner in Bismarck Phillips Communications, a PR company whose clients include Louis Vuitton, Stella McCartney and Hugo Boss.
The groom, the son of an antiques dealer mum and finiancial consultant father, is a graduate of the University of Bristol and is a partner in two Brussels-based firms. |
