Religious Wedding - April 19, 1956. Grace’s bridal gown is, quite simply, the most famous, classic, beautiful - and copied - wedding dress EVER. Period. And I’m not saying this just because I am a Grace fan - ask any fashion expert and they will give you the same answer. In short, a dress fitting to our Grace.
“I explained to Helen [Rose, the designer] the kind of line and look I wanted, with gros de longre skirt and lace blouse, and, as usual, she came up with something that far surpassed my imagination and hopes.” - HSH Princess Grace of Monaco

The civil marriage of Grace Kelly and Prince Rainier took place in the palace throne room on the morning of April 18, 1956.
The 40-minute ceremony was performed in front of approximately 80 guests by Monaco’s highest legal authority, the minister of justice.
After taking their vows, the couple was pronounced legally married.

Love letter from Prince Rainier to Grace Kelly before she leaved New York in early April 1956 for Monaco. He wrote: «My Darling, This is to tell you in a very mild way how terribly much I love you, miss you, need you and want you near me always. Safe trip my love. Rest, relax and think of me burning myself out with this terrible longing for you. I love you so».
