Grace Kelly and Prince Rainier
Before Princess Diana, Duchess Kate or Meghan Markle, there was Princess Grace, the original fairy-tale princess bride. Glamorous movie star Grace Kelly wed Monaco’s Prince Rainier III on April 19, 1956. They met while attending the Cannes Film Festival in 1955. After a yearlong romance, the couple made things official in a lavish ceremony that outdid previous royal weddings.
Grace Kelly’s wedding dress is every bride’s dream gown. It is the very symbol of a fairy-tale wedding. The high-necked, long-sleeved dress, made from 125-year-old Brussels lace, taffeta, and thousands of hand-sewn pearls had a long, billowing skirt and a 10-and-a-half-foot-long train.
