Alexandra of Luxembourg, fourth daughter of the Grand Dukes Enrique and María Teresa, has chosen French Provence, a family summer destination, to celebrate this Saturday her religious wedding with Nicolas Bagory. The 32-year-old princess has said ‘yes, I want’ to this 34-year-old Breton, trained academically in Classical Studies and Political Science at the Sorbonne in Paris and who works on the creation of social and cultural projects.
Both were already married civilly in the City Hall of the City of Luxembourg a week ago. The religious ceremony was officiated by the Bishop of Frejus-Toulon, Dominique Rey in the Church of Saint-Trophyme, near the private summer residence that the Grand Dukes Henri and Maria Teresa have in Cabasson.

Alexandra has chosen a design with an intertwined neckline and a long rounded train, a veil encrusted with mini diamonds and white high-heeled shoes. The princess has opted for a romantic-inspired low updo and the diamond Chaumet Tiara, a piece that the Grand Duchess has worn on occasions with pearls, but not this time, because they are removable. Her other jewels at the wedding were earrings and a pearl bracelet with a brilliant clasp.
