There is no "Yugoslavia" anymore, neither is there a monarchy. Does he call himself "Prince"? Ridiculous. Anyway the bride is very elegant.
ردحذفI have a lot of collegues from Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia and Slovenia in our team and they told me that the service in an orthodox church lasts up to three hours, and there are no benchs or chairs to sit down. They have to stand all the time.
But everybody wants to outshine the others and so the ladies wear high heels even Victoria Beckham could not cope with. So they arrive 10 minutes before the service ends and say "oh, we were so excited, we did not find the church" or something like that...
Why ridiculous according to you?
حذفThe breakup of Yugoslavia doesn't mean the people with hereditary title should not exist. Hereditary Title WILL ALWAYS remain in families.
@ Coralie, if you have been in the great cathedrals in Europe they also do not have pews.There may be chairs but there are modern.
حذفPS. You can see clearly red chairs at this wedding on 2 first photos.
I am from Serbia and that's right, there is no dress code for church.
حذف@Coralie, look here for Yugoslavia : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_of_Yugoslavia
حذفand as far as sitting, remember the Orthodox church wedding of Crown Prince of Greece? Chairs all over the cathedral? I think there's no rule that one must stand up. Just like in a catholic church, it's up to you: stand or sit, or kneel at that.
I have been in Moscow and there are not chairs. Also women wore their head covered with a handkerchief..
حذفSomeone orthodox might explain it.
@Liza You are incorrect about the Catholic church. One cannot choose whether to stand, sit or kneel. There are specific parts of the mass where everyone stands, everyone kneels, and everyone sits. Only the elderly or disabled would have an excuse to remain seated.
حذف@ chardonn8r, liza is right about catholic church, it is up to the person whether to sit or stand . Of course it is different when it comes to mass. I am sure Liza knows that and everybody else.
حذف@Anon 1:34 I am Roman Catholic and have been my entire life. I don't know what you are talking about. Whether a marriage has a mass or not, there are prayers that require standing, some do not. Maybe I am missing something?
حذفHaha
ردحذفiN Duitsland zien we vele prinsen en prinsessen, en ze blijven hun titel houde, al dan niet officieel.
ردحذفlaat ons nog een paar prinsen en prinsessen, om te dromen.
Is not that a nasty dress. The bride can feel sorry for her in her "Wurstpelle". It does not look really happy. Too bad - on such a day !!
ردحذفI'm pretty sure she had several fittings beforehand and decided to have the dress taylored/fitted this way. There's not really much of a "Wurstpelle" about it. As a matter of fact, I truly like the bodice and the satin kummerbund-like draping arond the high waist. The only issue I might have is the center front seam/stitching. Apart from that it is a mighty fine dress.
حذفDSC , I think the dress its beautiful; but it is against my expertise to wave the incompetence of a seamstress who would allow such a major professional mishap go public. It is comparable to hiring a violinist who'd forgotten how to play on G3 string! We are talking a royal wedding, and a seam running full length of the front of the bride's most important dress. She's a gorgeous young lady and the concept of the royal dress is an understated but very exciting variation on a historic theme. SO sorry that there was no one skillful enough to at least appliqué small buttons or flowers on that darn seam. But it was a happy occasion: Congratulations to the newlyweds!
حذفIs she now a princess?
ردحذفI don´t like the upper part of the dress. Good idea, but it stands out from the body in an unpleasant way.
ردحذفMe gusta la parte superior del vestido de la novia, es muy original. Por desgracia, de cintura para abajo está mal confeccionado. Esa costura central es un desastre.
ردحذفAl pantalón del novio le sobran 5 cm de longitud.
Pero que sean felices y el amor dure mucho tiempo.
Very elegant and beautiful bride. The dress is regal.
ردحذفSorry but this dress is a desaster. The idea of the dress is nice and elegant but it is so bad tailored. So sad for the bride. Otherwise she is glowing and her smile to her husband is amazing.
ردحذفBeautiful dress. Lovely bride.
ردحذفYugoslavia was a monarchy between 1929-1941.
ردحذفIt was then a republic for more than fifty years until the country was dissolved
in 1992.
Why cling to a title from a country in which you have never lived?
It was well known that people with titles were not "liked" in communist countries and that is why they left after the war. You have the title till the end of your life whether you lived or not in that country.
حذفFor those who don't like the bodice, I think it might be a removable " jacket". I'm betting there is a strapless dress for the reception underneath.
ردحذفEverything you need to know......

ردحذفMany thanks to the author, for photos of a former monarchy. Always exciting, to see brides, from other countries
A new Pss. for Serbia aka Yugoslavia. Best Wishes to the Newlyweds, on their special day. The dress is very nice.
ردحذفWell, I'm an orthodox and all I can say is that there are chairs in orthodox churches and that the dress code is according the event, that means that you usually dress up in a wedding don't you?
ردحذفEither you can visit a church with your every day clothes, something not too sexy though.
In a wedding or in an official ceremony it is not usual for the people to be seated in order to can see the ceremony and my wedding had lasted one hour which is normal.
