Royal wedding: Maria Laura of Belgium and William Isvy are already husband and wife

Maria Laura from Belgium and William Isvy have been married twice. The couple decided to celebrate a civil wedding, and later the religious ceremony that took place yesterday. The bride, daughter of Princess Astrid and Archduke Lorenzo of Austria-Este, was civilly married at the town hall of Brussels to a look simple yet elegant signature Gucci. It is a white mini dress, with a round neckline, short sleeves and discreet pleats in the middle. The royal tied her hair in a high bun and completed the outfit with long diamond earrings with a pearl on them and a bouquet of white flowers. A look ideal for a civil wedding in September.

The civil wedding was the prelude to the religious ceremony, in which María Luisa chose a Vivienne Westwood Custom Wedding Dress. It is designed with the long, detachable four-meter train, which was worn together with the Savoy-Aosta diamond tiara, which belonged to Archduchess Margaret of Savoy-Aosta, the bride’s paternal grandmother. A detail that is especially important given that he died shortly after the couple announced the union.

The faces of the newlyweds reflected the happiness they felt on such a special day, when they had the presence of all members of their respective families. About 500 guests They witnessed one of the royal weddings of the year. The bride entered arm in arm with her father and godfather of the ceremony, Lorenzo de Austria-Este, who smiled broadly at his daughter’s approaching ‘yes, I do’. María Laura needed help getting in with the train of her dress stretched out, and she had the help of her bridesmaids to do that.

The bride’s mother couldn’t hold back when it came down to it kiss his daughter exuberantly on the cheek, minutes after the church wedding was celebrated. Astrid from Belgium chose Maria Laura’s wedding a look in green tones to match the headdress. In contrast, the godmother and mother of the groom opted for a pastel-colored dress, also matching the headdress. The father-in-law and father of the bride have chosen an elegant morning costume to attend the ceremony.

The life of Maria Laura of Belgium does not correspond to the typical life of a princess. The young woman was characterized by her school phase, in which she went through a painful situation. The royal went to the Jesuit school Saint-Jean Berchmans, where it seems as if… was a victim of bullying for a while until her parents decided to transfer her to the international center of San Juan de Waterloo, where she was involved in a bus accident in 2005, from which she luckily escaped unharmed. When the school phase was over, María Laura moved to London to study Mandarin at the School of Oriental and African Studies at SOAS University, completing her internship by living in China for a year.

To this day, the newlywed works at the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development of London, and it was exactly where she met her now husband. William Isvy, for his part, was born in Paris, although he spent all his childhood in the English capital. At the age of 18 he moved to Canada to study economics at the prestigious McGill University in Montreal, and a few years ago he also settled in London to continue his professional career as a banking asset manager. While trying to live a discreet life, the couple have become the center of media attention since announcing their marriage last December. With both ceremonies celebrated, it is likely that María Luisa and William will resume their lives sooner, although they have now become husband and wife. This is the last royal wedding in recent months, with the calendar full of these kinds of celebrations from various royal families.
