Royal Wedding In Brussels
BRUSSELS, July 2. Princess Paola Buffo di Calabria of Italy, in a simply cut white satin bridal dress, both smiled and wept today as she became the wife of Prinee Albert of Liege, heir presumptive to the Belgian throne. Standing before the flowerdecked high altar of the medieval Church of Saints Michael and Gudule, the tall, slender Princess faltered and her • voice trailed off in the middle of the marriage pledge. As tears ran down her face, Prince Albert offered her his handkerchief. She dabbed her eyes and then in a clear, gentle voice, she finished the vow.
The church ceremony included a special message of blessing from the Pope.
The couple are spending their honeymoon in' Marjorca.
