About 12.000 to 15.000 people had gathered along the route to catch a glimpse of bride and groom. They cheered loudly when bride and groom left church after a one-hour service. The couple was photographed extensively and after having given several interviews the couple could finally climb into the carriage for the short ride to Bückeburg Castle. At the entrance of the castle they were greeted by a couple in regional costume who offered them the traditional bread and salt. In the afternoon a reception for about 750 guests was held at the castle.
