Here comes the bride
What a happy day
From CBS news
"With her frizzy white hair, squeaky voice and wildly colorful clothes, the duchess is among Spain's most famous people. Only a few dozen family members and close friends were invited to the ceremony.
The twice-widowed duchess wore a salmon, shin-length dress by Spanish designers Victorio y Lucchino on Tuesday.
Her full name is Maria del Rosario Cayetana Alfonsa Victoria Eugenia Francisca Fitz-James Stuart y de Silva. She goes by simply Cayetana, and is a distant relative of Queen Elizabeth and Winston Churchill.
She and Diez, a social security administration employee, are old acquaintances through her second husband, who was a former Jesuit priest, and Diez's brother, an antiques dealer. They bumped into each other about three years ago outside a movie theater in Madrid and eventually started dating.
Her six children, all from her first marriage, reportedly balked when the idea of marriage emerged. In July of this year the duchess assigned them and her grandchildren juicy chunks of her vast estate, including mansions and palaces, in an effort to appease them and clear her way to the altar.
"I have been alone in this project, and got nothing but negative opinions until they realized what kind of man he is," the duchess told the Spanish news agency Efe this week in a rare interview.
Estimates of her wealth range from $800 million to $4.7 billion. Besides fabulous and historic real estate sprinkled around Spain, the family treasure boasts paintings by Goya and Velazquez, a first-edition copy of Cervantes Don Quixote, and letters written by Christopher Columbus."
Seated at the altar - Do you take this man? "Mmmm..."
What is a wedding without dancing? A little Flamenco
As they say in the classics "If you have got it, flaunt it"
(what on earth is that green velvet belt for? later maybe?)
Before a celebrity wedding there are always a few skeletons in the closet that will be revealed. This skeleton, however I would not be surprised if the bride opened her closet and let it out herself. I certainly would have.
This is the scandalous picture of a topless Duchess sunbathing 30 years ago which appeared in Spanish newspapers this week
(age 55 - not too shabby)
I can't wait for the honeymoon shots
(Do you think it is the same bikini top she is still wearing? The tan marks could be the same)
For those of you as fascinated as me, here is a link of a little live footage. Apparently sales of Duchess wigs were big in Spain for the last couple of weeks. Too funny seeing all the people dressed up in their frizzy white wigs and her tossing her bouquet to the onlookers.
May they live happily ever after. Go Duchess.
