Wedding of the Count & Countess of Paris

The religious ceremony for Henri, Count of Paris and his second wife, Micaela d’Orleans was held in Arcangues, France on Saturday evening. The couple originally married in a civil ceremony back in 1984. But years of the Count waiting for an annulment from his first marriage to Maria Teresa of Wurttemberg, Duchess of Montpensier, led to the large gap between the two weddings. French Royal Wedding

The bride wore a rather loud purple dress while the groom wore a morning suit. The marriage was officiated at Church of Saint Jean Baptiste by Father Dominique Dye and by Abbé Jean-Marie Mouhica.

Not too many people showed up for this wedding. None of the Count’s five children were in attendance and there were only a scant number of French and European royals – all from non-reigning houses.

76 year-old Henri is the claimant to the French throne. He became head of the family in 1999 after the passing of his father. His own son, Prince Jean, married this past May.
