Prince Felix of Luxembourg, 29, had two weddings this week—one a low-key civil ceremony in Germany, the other a ceremony with royal flourish in the Provencal town of Saint-Maximin-la-Sainte-Baume.
Felix, second-in-line to the Luxembourg throne, married Claire Lademacher, 28, the daughter of German telecommunications mogul Hartmut Lademacher. She is a post-graduate student in Rome specializing in organ donation ethics, according to Today.

The couple married Tuesday in a civil service in Konigstein, Germany. Lademacher wore a short-skirted white dress, noted by observers for its casual style. The wedding was hailed by media as laid-back.
The religious ceremony in Saint-Maximin-la-Sainte-Baume, however, displayed a more customary royal formality, and Lademacher donned a traditional, long, white, lacy gown.
