It’s no surprise that German media dubbed Ludwig’s wedding to Helene von Pezold this weekend as Kreuzwertheim’s “dream wedding.”
Louis, 29, – the Hereditary Prince of Löwenstein-Wertheim-Freudenberg – and Helene, 28, the third of four daughters of Kilian von Pezold, certainly had a star-studded day.
Guests at the Protestant wedding in the Collegiate Church of Wertheim – included Duchess Elisabeth in Bavaria, Baroness Sophia and Baron Clemens von Elverfeldt.
The beautiful bride wore a diamond tiara worn by her sister, Sophia von Pezold, for her wedding a few months earlier, and it is believed she will wear the royal piece for her royal ball night.
For the no-cost celebration, the happy couple took their dazzling guests to the castle in Kreuzwertheim to enjoy a menu of roast pork, poultry and plenty of vegetarian dishes such as falafel.

The mayor of Kreuzwertheim, Klaus Thoma, performed the civil wedding on Friday afternoon in the pavilion on the multi-generational square directly on the Main.
The guests were dressed very differently from this morning ceremony, as many wore traditional costumes: the men in lederhosen and the women in dirndls.
Lederhosen is a traditional garment generally associated with mountainous regions of German-speaking Central Europe. The word lederhosen is translated into English as ‘leather riding breeches’.
Ddirndls have a low neckline, a blouse worn under the bodice, a wide skirt with a high waist and an apron.
