The newlyweds stand before an ornate altar adorned with resplendent gold and crimson draperies, flanked by regal portraits of their ancestors. The bride, resplendent in a voluminous white gown with a long train, holds a delicate bouquet of flowers as she gazes into the loving eyes of her husband-to-be. Prince Heinrich, dressed in his full Prussian military uniform, proudly wears the royal crown upon his head, symbolizing his new role as a prince consort.
