Dutch Prince Weds in Church Ceremony

October 22, 2005--Two days after becoming husband and wife in a civil ceremony, the Dutch Prince Floris van Vollenhoven and Aimee Sohngen sanctified their love with a religious service held at Grote Kerk, a 15th century house of worship in the city of Naarden. Here a joyfully teary-eyed bride and groom recited their vows beneath a vaulted ceiling adorned with murals depicting scenes from the Old and New Testaments.

Wearing wreaths of blossoms on their heads, three cherubic flower girls in ballerina-length white dresses fashioned with Peter Pan collars sprinkled rose petals along a red carpet as the newly wed couple exited the church.

Clutching a bouquet of pale yellow roses, the bride was the picture of elegance in a classically understated white gown created by Dutch designer Lily de Jood. The groom opted for a somber-colored morning jacket and grey pin-striped trousers, which he paired with an orange vest and bright red tie, giving the ensemble a jubilant splash of color. Two attendants in orange blouses with cowl necklines combined with black floor-length skirts held on to the bride's cathedral length train and pearl-studded veil as official photographs were taken outside the cathedral.
