Croatian Princess Weds

November 2006 -- On November 4, 2006 four young bridesmaids in ballet-length ivory dresses strolled in dainty ruby red shoes down the aisle of St. Stephen of Abyssina in Vatican City, their presence announcing the imminent arrival of Croatian princess Paola Doimi de Frankopan, who made a grand entrance in a Valentino creation, its beauty enhanced by a lace-edged mantilla which draped over her blonde tresses. Approximately 200 people looked on as the royal bride made her way to the altar, where Lord Nicholas Windsor, the son of the Duke and Duchess of Kent, waited to make her his wife in a Roman Catholic ceremony.

Following the service, the wedding guests, many of whom had rasied their glasses in toasts to the happy couple at a pre-wedding gathering held at Palazzo Taverna, gathered for a reception at Palazzo Doria Pamphili, a 17th century edifice which offers a view of Piazza Navona.
