Paris is always a good idea and Catherine and Rainer certainly selected the best of the City of Light! Their multi-day Paris wedding started with an intimate rehearsal dinner in the elegant Hotel Bristol. The next day the couple welcomed all of their guests aboard a motor yacht for a cocktail party cruise on the Seine. Guests were treated to the sights of Paris by day and a perfectly timed passage in front of the Eiffel Tower as it sparkled. The big day took place at the chicest of Paris venues, the Ritz Paris. The ceremony in the Ritz's gardens was officiated by a close friend of the couple and cocktail hour followed. At the end of dinner, guests were surprised with a performance by plumed dancers who then led guest from the reception rooms to the party, where a live band got everyone dancing!
