Mr. Yannick Magotsch and Princess Isabelle of Croy |
HSH Princess Isabelle of Croy and Yannick Magotsch were married on July 26th at St. Blasien church in Balve, located in Westphalia. They chose to have their wedding party in an “unforgettable and equally special location,” Balver Cave, which is 230 feet (70 meters) deep into a rock. According to Bunte, “colorful lights created a magical atmosphere.” The more formal wedding reception was held at Schloss Wockum.
The civil wedding took place at the Balve Standesamt, the day before the religious wedding.
