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 tailor-made ensemble from the Spanish brand Jesus Peiro.

The ruffled dress featured a billowing floor-length skirt, bold shoulder detailing, and a modest neckline.
To add some sparkle to her white ensemble, the radiant bride opted for a sleek silver necklace and dainty diamond earrings to complete her elegant look.
Countess Felicitas kept her blonde locks in loose curls and opted for a stylish half-up and half-down hairstyle, finished off with a beautiful floral headpiece nestled in her locks.
The bride held a bouquet of vibrant red and white flowers, matching her husband’s red vest.
Her fashionable husband – who works alongside his father in the family business – also opted for a light blue tie with his suit and crisp white shirt.
After the service, the couple left the church to a cheering crowd. They stopped to share a sweet kiss outside.

The couple – who first met at a party in 2012, before reuniting five years later – got engaged on August 25, 2022 during a “wonderful” vacation in Sicily, according to Euro history.
Countess Felicitas – who has also lived in Paris and Lisbon – studied law in Vienna, Austria, before also earning a degree in art history.
Meanwhile, Prince Johann-Wenzel studied politics and economics in Montreal, Canada, followed by a year at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst in the UK.
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.
But today, the couple went all out for their religious ceremony, which took place in Austria’s capital, where they both live and work.
