In the morning the flower decoration outside the church was finished, the red carpet was laid out, and the audience slowly arrived to have a look at the wedding. Guests started arriving pretty messy from about 10.30am. About 900 people were invited for the wedding. Among the guests were many known and less known royals and nobles. The famous German actress Marie-Louise Marjan stole the show and took her time to greet fans and let everybody make pictures. When Princess Lilly zu Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg arrived with husband and daughter it was clear that she is still much loved by the people of Bückeburg.
While Stig, Stefan and I had breakfast Anuschka arrived to join us. It was unfortunately not the most beautiful day of the week. While Anuschka and Stefan found themselves a good place in the public, Stig and I managed to get a place at the press stand. The distance to the church was a bit big, but we had a good view at the red carpet. Because it was not completely dry we decided to buy some umbrellas in a nearby shop. Then guests slowly arrived, not only via the red carpet but also from a side street. It was all a bit messy and we saw several known guests too far away from us to make any good pictures.
