By Vanessa Ford

Prince Albert of Monaco, 53, and Princess Charlene of Monaco, 33, exchanged vows in an extravagant religious wedding on Saturday, July 2, 2011, attended by their family, international celebrities and royalty.

Charlene wearing sumptuous boat neck gown by Giorgio Armani Prive swept along the red carpet leading into the palace on her father's arm, while Prince Albert II looked smart in a white military uniform.

The marriage of Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene, a one-time Olympic swimmer from South Africa, is cheered by thousands of Monegasque citizens outside the palace. They slipped on the 18 carat white gold Cartier rings onto each other's fingers.

French Designer Louis Reard and History of Bikini

By Elisa 11

A daring two-piece swimsuit was unveiled by French designer Louis Reard at Piscine Molitor on July 5, 1946. The name bikini was inspired by a news- making U.S atomic test. European women began wearing these suits in the 1930s. In the United States, the swimsuit first appeared during World War II.

In 1946, French designers came up with fashion to match the first war-free summer in years. Reard created a smaller bathing suit and called it the bikini which was named after the Bikini Atoll. Micheline Bernardini exotic dancer modeled his creation. However, his new swimsuit was not welcomed due to public beliefs especially in Spain and Italy. In the 1950s, the swimsuit became popular on European beaches. In the 1960s, Brian Hyland sang "Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka-Dot Bikini" to immortalize the swimsuit. Since then, bikini has continued to become more and more popular.

First two-piece bathing suits consisted of a halter top and shorts in the 1930s

Western Europeans joyously greeted the first war-free summer in 1946.

French designer Reard encountered difficulty in finding model for the debut of his new swimsuit.
