現實生活中十大童話般的婚禮(上)

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.

神祕的童話王國帶領我們進入了一個虛幻的想象世界，不停地吸引着我們，展現着神奇的魅力。從仙女、精靈、會說話的動物、惡毒的繼母、壞女巫、仙女教母、王子和落難少女，這些迷人的角色反映了彼時至此的生活挑戰，他們來自幽深的樹林，大多都是年輕姑娘（當然是深陷困境的）！年輕的王子拯救了這些落難少女，見她們的第一眼就深深墜入愛河，最後打破所有皇室傳統，幸福快樂地生活在一起——舉幾個例子，就像灰姑娘和白雪公主的故事一樣。但是，長期以來，王室對於王位繼承者的婚姻有不成文的規定，即選擇配偶要門當戶對。面對這一既定條例，很少有人會打破常規，同皇室以外的平民結婚。下面讓我們凝神窺視十對最浪漫的皇室情侶，同他們熱烈而引人注目的現實版童話婚禮一起，註定成爲皇室的一部分。
