Swarovski Heir Weds in Glittery Ceremony

October 2005--The sparkle of Swarovski crystals have become de rigeur for today's bridal attire, but on October 22, 2005 it was Fiona Swarovski's day to shine, as the heiress to the crystal empire wed Austria's finance minister Karl-Heinz Grasser in one of the most talked about society events of the season.

In a rain-soaked vineyard in Weissenkirchen the brilliant glare of sunlight cast upon the droplets of water which clung to the grape leaves mirrored that of the Swarovski crystal butterfly pendant on the bride's knee-length, ivory gown as she pledged her love to her intended. As their vows were recited, a plane hovering overhead showered the couple with 12,000 rose petals.

Following the ceremony, the bride tossed her bouquet of pink roses to the ladies in attendance before embarking on a 40-mile journey to Vienna, where the couple enjoyed a reception at Ristorante Meini.
