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 Saturday’s ceremony has brought new allure to the tiny principality since the last wedding of a Monaco’s ruling prince took place in 1956 when Prince Rainier III tied the knot with Hollywood star Grace Kelly.
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.
