Prince Johann-Wenzel of Liechtenstein has married his blushing bride, Countess Felicitas von Hartig, in a lavish religious ceremony in Vienna.
The son of Princess Marie of Liechtenstein and Prince Gundakar of Liechtenstein, 30, and the daughter of Count Lukas von Hartig and Claudia Toperczer, 29, were reportedly married in April at a civil service in Vaduz, Liechtenstein’s capital.
But today, the couple went all out for their religious ceremony, which took place in Austria’s capital, where they both live and work.
Guests at the glamorous occasion included Prince Sébastien of Luxembourg and Heinrich Donatus, Hereditary Prince of Schaumburg-Lippe.
For the occasion, the bride, who works for the Austrian Ministry of the Interior, is said to have worn a three-piece ensemble from the Spanish brand Jesus Peiro, which cost around £3,125.

Founded more than 300 years ago, the Princely House of Liechtenstein gives its name to the small European nation.
All living members are descendants of its founder, Prince Johann I, who was admitted to the Confederation of the Rhine by Napoleon in 1806, in a move that laid the foundations for sovereignty.
The sovereignty issue remains important to the nation, which has a population of just 39,039 and measures just 15 miles from east to west.
The reigning Prince Hans-Adam II is particularly committed to the independent foreign policy of Liechtenstein. Under his leadership, Liechtenstein joined the United Nations (UNO) in 1990 and the European Economic Area (EEA) in 1995.
He has three sons and a daughter. The eldest, Prince Alois, is heir to the Liechtenstein throne.
