The mystical realms of Fairy tales, leading us to an imaginary world of fantasy, never cease to fascinate or cast a magical spell. Filled with Fairies, Elves, Talking Animals, Wicked Stepmothers, Bad Witches, Fairy Godmothers, Princes And Damsels in distress, reflecting the challenges of the day to today lives, these enchanting characters, from the dark and deep woods, are for most part, damsels (deeply in distress of course!). The young Princes, saving these distressed damsels fall profoundly in love at first sight and end up marrying them, breaking all traditional norms of Royalty– as in the case of Cinderella, and Snow White– to name a few. For ages, although, monarchies have had an unwritten law about marriages between Royalties in line of succession, to choose a spouse of equal stature, there were few who, despite the established law, broke all conventions and traditions, to marry 'out of royal' commoners. Let us closely peek at ten of the most romantic royal pairs, destined to be part of monarchs, with their alluring passionate real-life fairy tale weddings.
神秘的童话王国带领我们进入了一个虚幻的想象世界,不停地吸引着我们,展现着神奇的魅力。从仙女、精灵、会说话的动物、恶毒的继母、坏女巫、仙女教母、王子和落难少女,这些迷人的角色反映了彼时至此的生活挑战,他们来自幽深的树林,大多都是年轻姑娘(当然是深陷困境的)!年轻的王子拯救了这些落难少女,见她们的第一眼就深深坠入爱河,最后打破所有皇室传统,幸福快乐地生活在一起——举几个例子,就像灰姑娘和白雪公主的故事一样。但是,长期以来,王室对于王位继承者的婚姻有不成文的规定,即选择配偶要门当户对。面对这一既定条例,很少有人会打破常规,同皇室以外的平民结婚。下面让我们凝神窥视十对最浪漫的皇室情侣,同他们热烈而引人注目的现实版童话婚礼一起,注定成为皇室的一部分。
