This is the best wedding gown I've seen in a while, and she has such a lovely face, it's beautiful but distinctive. These quasi-military uniforms that male royalty wear, however -- honestly they look like hotel doormen. Black tie and tails, please. Great dress, great head-dress!

You are confusing the British way with the Belgium. A daughter of a Count is a Countess. Very common in continental Europe. Love the dress, love her "real" woman looks. She will age very very well.

I mean, her father was a count so her mother would have been the countess, but now the title is vacant (if her father ever remarries, his new wife becomes the countess; or, when he dies and his son becomes the count, the son's wife will be countess). Some women inherit titles or are given titles by the monarch or parliament, or whoever has that power in a particular country. But since she's the youngest of all the children, I doubt she holds any titles of her own. Of course, she's now a princess by virtue of her marriage. She’s not really a countess, right?

(much better then kate's hair AND makeup during her wedding...why couldn't she just use a professional?) the couple also really looked like they were in love. i think the bodice portion of stephanie’s wedding dress (and kate’s) are ugly. i like sleevless and strapless wedding dresses better then these dresses that look stuffy and like they encase someone’s arms like sausage. the lace appliques on the veil were gorgeous and so was the train. i also think that stephanie looked pretty and that her hair looked really great when it was down for the civil ceremony.

A truly stunning choice of gowns, the best I've seen on any bride for as long as I can remember, and well worthy of comment here. Her up-do is also fabulous for the occasion.

The royal wedding in Luxembourg cost about 500,000 Euros. The royal wedding in England cost around 20 million pounds....and another 10 million pounds in security, supposedly....The WSJ said something along the lines that England lost billions of dollars in revenue because of the holiday they created around the royal wedding, and the fact that the holiday came right after a holiday the weekend before. I'm perfectly aware that England is a country with a population 100 time greater than Luxembourg...That Luxembourg is tiny....However, I Just found the sheer excess of the English wedding a little disgusting... They are so much less stiff around each other than Will and Kate...I think Will and Kate love each other, but they seem to lack passion...The Princess of Morocco, Lalla Salma, is so beautiful and I love her blue dress..Besides the Spanish royals and Queen Rania, she's one of my favorite royals...It interesting how much more educated the Spanish royals, Queen Rania, Lalla Salma, and even the Luxembourg royals are compared to the English royals.

Those princesses of yesteryear that you think are so elegant and demure - definitely not the kind of women that would be be caught naked on a balcony - are probably not as elegant and demure as they appear to be. It is very easy to have a high opinion of those princesses when you don't actually know much about their private lives - certainly not in the way that we've come to know about Kate's and even Diana's. One needs to keep in mind that not hearing scandalous stories or seeing scandalous pictures doesn't mean they didn't happen and they don't exist. Just a quick look into the history of royal families reveals that they have lots of skeletons in their closets, and there isn't any reason to think that that's changed or even gotten worse. Be hard on Kate all you want, but at least acknowledge the fact that she's dealing with technology and a market for scandalous pictures and sensitive information that is different from what those other princesses dealt with; at least acknowledge that not seeing evidence of scandalous behaviour does not mean that there isn't any.
