And the dog came too....

The first photos of the wedding of Andea Casiraghi and Tatiana Santo Domingo show a relaxed affair, every bit as laid back as promised by the possible future monarchs of Monaco.  The bride went for her usual boho chic look and the groom was smart in a blue suit with tie.  And the dog came too.

 

Putting in good claim to be the most relaxed royal bride and groom ever - Andrea Casiraghi and his wife, Tatiana, on their wedding day in Monaco

 

The pooch had been the star of the hen night photos, perched on the future Mrs Casirahgi's lap while her hens grinned in floral headgarb at the camera knowing they were being upstaged by Tatiana's best friend.  And there doggie was again in the wedding snaps, following the couple down the stairs of the royal palace looking almost pleased to be there.

The marriage of second in line, Andrea Casiraghi, means that his baby son, Sacha, now has succession rights to the princely title of Monaco and should Albert remain without a legitimate heir then one day the little boy born earlier this year will become its sovereign.  That's a long way and a lot of ifs in the future.  In the meantime, we wait for more wedding photos with baby and doggie in tow.
