PreviousBack to directoryNext
 On May 7, countless garlands were hung on the streets of Rio de Janeiro, which were woven from sunflowers symbolizing the king and lilies representing the queen.

They symbolize strength and happiness. This is the blessing of the king and queen from the subjects of the Kingdom of Brazil, and it is also an ode to the country's beautiful and bright future.

The wedding of the King of Brazil was undoubtedly sensational. Although many important European guests were missing, ambassadors from various countries attended this major wedding ceremony.

The wedding of King Pedro III of Brazil is a very important event in the Kingdom of Brazil. In order to prevent accidents, the Kingdom's Golden Gun Bureau and Golden Shield Bureau operators mobilized in large numbers. They cooperated with the military and police in the dark to maintain order.

.

This time, the wedding pattern of King Downing Pedro III of Brazil was in the Anglican style; the Brazilian Anglican wedding is actually similar to the Catholic one, with only some changes in details.

Anglican weddings stipulate that the bride must wear a veil, which represents the incarnation of holiness in a new beginning. When the groom lifts the bride's veil, it is a promise given, which means that he has a partner who will accompany him in life.<

/p>

Of course, for the head of a country, when the king lifts the bride's veil, the country truly welcomes its mistress.

The wedding was held at ten o'clock. King Tangning Pedro Braganza of Brazil, led by the Count of Tejo and the Speaker of the Senate Jose, came to the symbolic king's throne and waited for the arrival of the bride. The two of them would ride together

The carriage went to the Royal Church to complete the so-called soul contract ceremony in the Anglican Church.

Crowds have gathered in the large square outside the palace and along the streets.

There were so many people gathered in the square that some were even squeezed so hard that their feet could not touch the ground, but the luckiest ones were the children. They were gloriously arranged in the front row, holding the royal flag of Braganza, waiting for the king with joyful smiles.

and the appearance of the queen.

Today's Rio de Janeiro is destined to be empty.

From the Royal Palace to the Royal Church, there is a sea of ​​joy along the way. It is said that Brazilians love to be lively. This king's wedding gives them the opportunity to fully demonstrate this trait.

This time, Brazilians came out dressed up, and all the things and musical instruments that could be celebrated were brought to the streets, and some even sang and danced on the rooftops.

After the twelve-gun salute, the main guest appeared, the main gate of the palace was slowly opened, and the guards drew their sabers and formed a sword formation to greet him.

Pedro is now wearing a traditional red king's dress with a crown on his head. At this moment, he is handsome and charming, and his royal nobility shines around him.

Today, Princess Mary wears a slim-fitting white wedding dress, which fully demonstrates her nobility and elegance. The most eye-catching thing is the tail skirt behind her, which stretches a full five meters and is led by eight girls, holding a bouquet of lilies in her left hand.

, holding Pedro's arm in his right hand, slowly passed through the knife formation.

The appearance of the king and queen made the Brazilian subjects excited. They were proud to have such a handsome and beautiful royal couple who complemented each other perfectly.

What was picked up was a huge gold-rimmed carriage. This was a carriage built for the king's wedding. It used over a kilogram of gold, thirty or sixty gemstones of various types, and even the wheels were inlaid with gold. It was conservatively estimated to cost half a million pounds.

Cost, this expensive carriage is pulled by eight tall white horses.

The royal ceremonial team was waiting solemnly in front of the carriage. The horses seemed to know that today's occasion was solemn. After rigorous training, they formed a uniform formation and quietly waited for the moment their master boarded the carriage.

Tangning, His Majesty King Pedro III of Brazil, is known for being friendly and casual. Along the way, he waved and greeted the crowd, which caused a tsunami of cheers at the scene.

Yes, this is the king that the Brazilian people are proud of. He is handsome and kind, and he is the best ruler of Brazil since Pedro II.

The king and queen finally boarded the car. It was very convenient for Pedro, but it took a lot of effort for Princess Mary. This wedding dress was beautiful and luxurious, but it was also troublesome. It took a long time to put away the tail skirt behind her naked body.
Of course, she didn't need to do it, but how to make the queen sit comfortably in the carriage would exhaust the maids.

In the carriage, Tangning sat and looked at the busy maid and Charlotte who was giving orders from time to time. At this moment, even Helen was sweating profusely from helping to tidy up.

Why bother? Isn’t it better to keep some ceremonies simple?

It's a pity that Tangning's opinions are irrelevant and no one listens to his opinions.

The highly respected Princess Isabel of Brazil is firmly opposed to any simplification. She believes that not only cannot there be any simplicity, but on the contrary the ceremony must be expanded.

Isabel, who has always advocated frugality, told Mary when discussing the wedding format that this time the Brazilian royal family’s wedding must be gorgeous and noble, even unprecedented. Only in this way can the royal family’s dignity be shown, and at the same time, the people can make it their home.

.

This last suggestion was naturally adopted by Mary. After all, as a woman, she also wanted her wedding to be unique.

The prerequisite for all luxury is money, and for the royal family of Braganza, Brazil, and the royal family of Nassau, Luxembourg, money is just a number.

Tangning controls Brazil and is rich, and the dowry Mary brings is the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. It is not difficult for the two of them to have a super luxurious wedding.

It is a man's dream to have a successful career, marry a rich and beautiful woman, and reach the pinnacle of life. But for Tangning, the king of Brazil who already has everything, what he cares most about is the virtuousness of his wife and the warmth of his family.

There is no need to say that Princess Mary is virtuous. After she came to the Brazilian palace, she was diligent and thrifty, generous and decent, and could tolerate the presence of some sisters.

Although she rarely goes out and interacts with her subjects, she can still be regarded as a competent heroine.

"If you find it troublesome, you can take a carriage instead," Princess Mary snorted coldly when she saw Pedro looking like he was watching the show.

Pedro laughed: "Mary, don't be angry. I'm not afraid that you will be tired. Anyway, you just like it."

When women are unreasonable, it is not a problem with their behavior or cultural upbringing, but a kind of instinct. To put it harshly, it means being unreasonable. This is also very applicable to Princess Mary.

Mary was also anxious. The carriage had not started yet, and the scene was in full public view, which made her somewhat embarrassed. She was a little afraid that people would think that she was delaying on purpose to show her dignity. Now Mary was afraid of leaving a bad impression on others.

.

The more impatient you are, the easier it is to get angry, but it’s hard to urge the people below, so you have to vent your anger on the men watching the excitement.

In fact, she was overthinking it, and the people present wished she could stay longer and appreciate the beautiful queen more. After all, the church could not accommodate so many people, and for ordinary people, it was the only place where they could see the queen up close.

Opportunity.

"Okay, princess sister, can you close the door?" Charlotte finally finished sorting out and asked happily. She was also wearing a traditional aristocratic female dress today, and she entered the church as the queen's sister.

For the country of Brazil, since the glorious restoration of the Braganza royal family, the kingdom has entered a new historical period under the leadership of Pedro III. The darkness and decay of the past have been swept away, and the rise of the country is visible to the naked eye.

Today, although Brazil is not yet a superpower, it is already on the road to recovery.

Today, Brazil is almost the same as Italy and is one of the most powerful countries in the world.

Brazil is growing rapidly in science and technology, education, economy, industry, agriculture and other fields. I believe that the country’s development will not be far away from catching up with the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

Developing industry and attaching importance to education is Tangning Pedro's established strategy to strengthen the country. This time, through the wedding event, the Brazilian government has truly completed the recruitment of homeless and idle children in society and arranged for them to attend Hope School and Anglican School.

In order to increase their patriotism and love for the royal family, Pedro specially invested in the establishment of the Royal Youth Education Fund to help these children complete the education stage of life.

It is conceivable that when these orphans achieve academic success and enter various fields of society, their love for the royal family will inevitably reach a new level. In their minds, they will always remember that what they are today is due to the support and care of the royal family and the king. Without

The royal family does not have them.

After cleaning up, Princess Mary kept smiling warmly, and she whispered something to Charlotte from time to time.

"Have you noticed, Mary? Charlotte doesn't seem very friendly to me today."

Tangning touched her nose and looked at Charlotte who was far away from him, feeling a little depressed. Did she offend this little baby?

"Did you forget that you teased her yesterday? Charlotte still remembers it now." Mary said with a smile.

"You didn't say yesterday that she was a bit short. She looks like that in a wedding dress. Being a bridesmaid is very interesting!"

After hearing Mary's words, Tangning knew that she was wrong. She was so excited that she didn't notice that she had hurt Charlotte.

This mistake must be acknowledged.

"It was my fault yesterday, and I apologize to Charlotte now!"

The wedding of the King of Brazil went smoothly. Tangning led Princess Mary's carriage to the church, showing a gentlemanly demeanor in the process.

When they arrive at the church, the two will officially enter the final stage of wedding vows.

Because Princess Mary was wearing a veil, her expression could not be seen clearly, but judging from her elegant steps, she was still in a good mood. After all, this was the happiest moment in a woman's life. The church bells officially rang three times, which heralded

The wedding reaches its climax.

The Chief Archbishop of the Anglican Communion started a whole set of oath-taking procedures for the two newcomers.

Although Tang Ning is the supreme leader of the Brazilian State Church, she still has to stand in front of her and accept questioning when she is receiving blessings from God.

There is another process in the Anglican wedding, that is, the newlyweds must stand in the church choir composed of a group of priests and nuns. This is the famous Anglican love hymn "Angel Wings".

Under the hymn, Tang Ning moved his mouth with a serious face. In fact, he was essentially a hypocrite. What hymn? This is a love song he created. It is the melody of "To Alice" with the lyrics compiled by him.
Tangning, a guy with multiple wings, was just pretending at the moment, but the devout Princess Mary was truly sincere and sang very affectionately and with great devotion.

After all the procedures in the church were completed, the entire audience stood up and bid farewell to the king and queen as they left the church in the rain of flowers.

Next, the king and queen of Brazil will complete the last and most important wedding finishing work. Tangning and Mary will ride a carriage around the city to receive the blessings of their subjects.

This is a lively parade, which will be composed of several teams, totaling 3,000 people.

At the front is the Royal Ceremony Band, who are dressed in festive red and white dresses. This is considered the most desirable profession for Brazilian instrumentalists, and it is their dream to be a member of it.

Behind the ceremony band is the flower band, which consists of a group of little flower girls dressed in various nationalities. They wear wreaths on their heads, each of them leads a small flower basket, and sprinkles flower petals from time to time.

Children are the future of the kingdom, and Tang Ning specially arranged to increase their sense of participation, making them have a good impression of the royal family from an early age.

Although there is suspicion of brainwashing, it is also a kind of patriotic education. After all, loving the royal family during this period means loving the country.

Since it is necessary to show the love and attention to children, the king's carriage is behind the flower procession, which has a very high symbolic meaning.

That is to convey a message to all subjects that our children are guarding the king, just like we are doing now. This is a noble inheritance.

From the moment Tangning got into the car, her left hand never stopped moving. Although today he was basically a puppet, because he had never experienced it, the wedding etiquette was taught by the Minister of Ceremonies.

As the king of a country, Tang Ning knows when to show majesty and when to be friendly. This is the way of a king in Eastern culture, which combines strength and softness. He has a deep understanding of this aspect.

Well, Tangning, King Pedro III, performed well and was as friendly to the people as ever. Queen Mary also changed her low-key and aloof style this time, with a warm and charming smile and an elegant nod.

This made the subjects admire that they have a perfect queen who can make them brag on any occasion and in any country. Look, our Queen is so noble and elegant.

The wedding parade marched very fast. Most of the way, the scene was still very lively. People and reporters from all over the world were also excited to participate. Everyone likes the excitement.

Behind the king's luxurious carriage is the majestic royal guard, riding a tall horse, wearing traditional knight armor, holding a sword, and looking murderous.

This is the meaning of the king's existence. In addition to flowers, applause, and kindness, don't forget that he is also the supreme commander of the Brazilian army.

The incarnation of an angel or a devil, it depends on what you let him choose.

The bells of the Royal Cathedral reverberated in the air, reviving Brazil's long-delayed dream of an empire. Tangning and Queen Mary stood on the balcony, waving to all the citizens and guests.

This luxurious wedding in Brazil has finally come to an end.
