Wedding Updates *


The wedding of The Hereditary Grand Duke and Countess Stephanie will be broadcast on France 2. Fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld will commentate together with Stephane Bern and Marie Drucker. Still no word if the wedding will be available online for those of us who do not have access to France 2.

The Hereditary Grand Duke and Countess Stéphanie de Lannoy have also established an account under the Fondation du Grand-Duc et de la Grande-Duchesse. The special account "The Royal Wedding - Social Projects in Luxembourg" is in connection with their upcoming nuptials. Typically guests are asked to make a donation in lieu of wedding gifts. You may also visit the website of the foundation and make your own donation in honor of the royal wedding. The Countess joined her fiancé on the foundation's Board of Directors shortly after the engagement.

Meanwhile, it has become known that Luxembourgish Michelin star cook Léa Linster, who is the only woman to have ever won the Bocuse d'Or, will provide the food for the wedding. Linster, who owns a couple of restaurants in the Grand Duchy, was also the one who cooked the food for the second evening of the state visit of the Grand Ducal couple to Germany earlier this year.

  1. I am so happy to read that Guillaume and Stephanie would rather have donations to La Fondation Grand Ducale in lieu of wedding gifts..classy, wonderful young couple.

    I shouldn't be surprised.

  2. "Karl Lagerfeld will commentate together with Stephane Bern and Marie Drucker." I hope that Bern will bring some decorum to the broadcast, since Lagerfeld is so outspoken!

  3. I hope so also. I was a little taken aback when I read that he would be the commentator. He's outspoken but not in a very nice way.
