EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the magical moment from the historic wedding ceremony of Princess Marie of Edinburgh and Prince Ferdinand of Romania, which took place on 10 January 1893 at the Stadt Church in Sigmaringen, Germany. The couple's union marked a significant event in European royal history, as Marie brought the British monarchy's House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha to the Romanian royal family. The bride, Princess Marie, is depicted in her elegant bridal gown, kneeling at the altar alongside her groom, Prince Ferdinand. The solemnity of the occasion is palpable as they receive the blessing from the officiating clergyman. The ceremony was not only held in the grandeur of the church but also in the more intimate setting of the dining room at Sigmaringen Castle, where a Church of England ceremony was performed. Marie, born in 1875 as Princess Victoria Mary of Teck, was the sixth child and third daughter of Prince and Princess of Teck. She married the future King Ferdinand I of Romania at the age of 18, becoming the Queen consort of Romania. Their marriage was celebrated across Europe, and the joyous occasion brought together the British and Romanian royal families. This photograph is a captivating reminder of the rich history and traditions of royal weddings and the enduring connections between European royal houses. The image, taken from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Prints Online, is a must-have for history enthusiasts, royalty admirers, and anyone interested in the fascinating world of European royalty.
