Prince Johann-Wenzel of Liechtenstein and Countess Felicitas von Hartig’s wedding was so nice, they married twice!

On Saturday, June 10, the prince married his sweetheart in a religious service at Servite Church in Vienna, Austria. The celebration was held six weeks after their civil ceremony in Liechtenstein on April 30, according to the blog Royals Without Throne, where the bride wore a short white dress and the groom was classic in a dark suit.

The weekend wedding at Servite Church had all the classic elements, and the festivities began when Felicitas arrived in a vintage convertible with her dad, Count Lukas von Hartig.

In a fresh spin on royal bridal style, Felicitas skipped a tiara and veil. She wore a white dress with short puff sleeves and stripe-like pleats by the Spanish brand Jesus Peiro, Point de Vue reported. She completed the look with white flowers in her hair and was all smiles for the march to meet her groom, who sported a morning suit, at the altar.

Prince Johann-Wenzel, the son of Princess Marie of Orléans and Prince Gundakar of Liechtenstein, spoke about his hopes with Point de Vue before the big day.

"I can't wait to live this day and to spend the rest of my life with her,” he told the French outlet.

Some countries in Europe don't legally recognize religious marriage ceremonies, so the bride and groom opt to have both a civil ceremony as well as a religious one.

Earlier this year, Princess Alexandra of Luxembourg and Nicholas Bagory held two separate ceremonies for the wedding. On April 22, the couple tied the knot in a civil ceremony — where the bride wore an all-white pants and top ensemble. The following weekend, they turned up the glam for a religious ceremony in Bormes-les-Mimosas, France. Princess Alexandra completed her bridal look with a family heirloom: the Chaumet Choker Tiara — a unique piece that can be worn as a necklace or a headpiece.
