Spanish Duke Weds in Seville

October 2005--Although over 200 invitations had been distributed, only 40 guests were privileged to enter the chapel at the Palacio de Las Duenas to witness the nuptials between Cayetano Martinez de Irujo, the Duke of Salvatierra, and Genoveva Casanova Gonzalez, which took place on October 15, 2005 in Seville, Spain.

Halos of flowers crowned the heads of two tiny flower girls, each wearing ballerina-length ivory dresses embellished with scarlet sashes at the waist. The vivid color harmonized with the short pants worn by two page boys who walked down the aisle ahead of the bride, who made her entrance in a two-piece ivory gown (reportedly by designer Manuel Mota) enhanced with a cathedral length train.

A veil four meters in length constructed of organza and Chantilly lace was attached to a dainty tiara from the groom's family, the royal house of Alba. An image of the Virgin of Guadalupe, the symbol of the bride's home country of Mexico, gazed down at Geneveva from the walls of the chapel as she made her way toward her intended, who donned the uniform of the Royal Cavalry Arsenal for the occasion.
