Panama-born Angela Brown became the first black woman to marry into a ruling European royal family when she wed Prince Maximilian of Liechtenstein in 2000.

Angela met the prince, who is eleven years her junior, at a reception in New York and the pair were married at the Church of St. Vincent Ferrer in New York, with Angela wearing a gown she’d designed herself. Eighteen years later Meghan Markle copied the dress as the bride of Prince Harry.

Like Harry, Prince Maximilian is a second son (of reigning Prince Hans-Adam II of Liechtenstein) and is unlikely to inherit the throne, allowing him to live a relatively normal life.

Meghan Markle married her Prince Charming, Prince Harry of Windsor, during an understated yet elegant ceremony at Windsor Castle in England.

Meghan and Harry’s wedding was the most viewed BBC television event of the year.

Her ceremony was on her terms and in her own way.

Solange Knowles married her fiancé video choreographer Alan Ferguson, 51 in New Orleans on Sunday in a southern style eclectic wedding that was out of the norm. The couple arrived for the ceremony on vintage white bicycles, the brides adorned with white roses.

The guest all wore white and a lot of care and precision went into Solange’s big day as her wedding photos will be featured in a layout of Vogue magazine.

Standing to attention: Judging by these official wedding photos, a lot of care and precision went into organizing Solange's big day

Noticeably missing from the wedding festivities was Solange and Beyoncé’s father, Matthew Knowles who’s apparently estranged from his daughter’s due to his highly publicized extra marital indiscretions. Therefore, instead of the shining moment of a father/daughter dance; Solange had a mother/son dance with her ten (10) year old son, Daniel Julez, from her previous marriage. The video is too cute check it out!
