The gala dinner was organized at the Grand Ducal palace, the official residence of Luxembourg's sovereign since 1890. Many representatives of reigning and non reigning monarchies were invited to this Gala dinner attended by the newly-weds, the Grand Ducal family and the Lannoy family.
Representatives of regions making up the State of Luxembourg, national authorities and European institutions, as well as several other foreign guests, took part in the event.
Prince Guillaume, Hereditary Grand Duke of Luxembourg (aged 31) and Countess Stephanie de Lannoy (aged 28) were engaged on April 28.
According to their wish, they got married on Friday at the town hall of Luxembourg and not at the Grand Ducal palace as in tradition.
The civil wedding ceremony was closed to cameras, and the religious marriage will be celebrated on Saturday at the Notre-Dame Cathedral of Luxembourg, followed by an official reception at the Grand Ducal palace.
HRH Princess Lalla Salma arrived, on Thursday afternoon, in Luxembourg to attend the happy event.
