Planes de boda


Grace Kelly habla de su vestido de boda, hecho por Helen Rose, de MGM; de sus perritos; y de la dama de honor. En vocabulario: coax, cap, overkill, seamstress, matron of honor

The Napoleonic Code of Monaco and the laws of the Catholic Church necessitated two ceremonies…

The bridesmaids' gowns were designed by Joe Allen Hong at Neiman Marcus…

Kelly retired from acting at the age of 26 to marry Rainier, and began her duties as Princess of Monaco. It is well known that Alfred Hitchcock was hoping she would appear in more of his films which required an "icy blonde" lead actress, but he was unable to coax her out of retirement.
Kelly headed the U.S. delegation at the Cannes Film Festival in April 1955. While there, she was invited to participate in a photo session with Prince Rainier III, the sovereign of the Principality of Monaco, at the Prince's Palace, about 55 kilometers away from Cannes. After a series of delays and complications, she met him at the Prince's Palace of Monaco on May 6, 1955. At the time of her initial meeting with him, she was dating the French actor Jean-Pierre Aumont.
