The two swore eternal love last April 6 in the church of San Francisco Borja, in the heart of the Spanish capital, embraced by the warmth of friends and relatives, including the former Spanish sovereign himself.

Anna Maria of Greece and that wedding dress lost and then found more than 50 years later
In 1964 the wedding between the Danish princess and King Constantine took place. The dress with a six-metre train remained closed in a suitcase for decades: it is testimony to a great love but also tells of the exile into which the royal family was forced
The white dress worn for her Yes to the mayor of Madrid, in fact, it is exactly the same, although adapted, worn by grandmother on her wedding day, April 16, 1961. But there's more. The same boss, as reported Vanitatis, he would have made a second appearance before the current celebrations, that is, at the wedding of his daughter Teresa de Borbón-Parmaas well as mother of the current bride, always celebrated on April 16, but from 1995.
But let's go in order. The dress passed from generation to generation was created in the early sixties by Pedro Rodriguez, Spanish designer highly esteemed by Cristóbal Balenciaga. Made in brocade fabric with satin base and embroidered with silver threads, unlike the current version, at the time it featured a very fitted waist, a bateau neckline and a vaporous tulip skirt. Teresa de Borbón-Parma she completed her bridal look with a headband embellished with orange flowers and an ever-present veil of cloud-effect tulle. In 1995, the dress returned to the scene again, this time for the wedding of her daughter Beatriz Moreno de Borbón. The designer will adapt the garment according to the needs and tastes of the bride Eduardo Ladrón de Guevara.
Twenty-nine years later, or today, the beloved wedding dress is dusted off again, thus continuing the family tradition. This time the third generation is wearing it, represented by Teresa Urquijo, which has entrusted itself to the hands of Cristina Martínez Pardo, from the renowned Navascués atelier, for tailor-made sewing, keeping the fabric and some original detailsher white dress.

Grandma's fluffy skirt has been remodeled, now showing a more contained, flowing cut, which outlines the silhouette and the waistline. The bodice part does not have wide necklines, and the sleeves are long, balloon-shaped, with well-accentuated shoulder straps.
What prevails is the light of the brocade fabric woven with silver threads which design, just as originally, an elegant floral pattern. Teresa, like her grandmother, also opted for a silk tulle veil that overlaps the long train – apparently almost 3 meters long.
Without a doubt a refined and precious garment, with a modest yet very classy line. A dress of great value, especially emotional since it holds important moments, joyful days and emotions that are relived today in its hems and weaves. Just like then.
