Marianne's thread about the Royal Wedding in Bhutan reminded me of this Royal Wedding in 1963 between American Hope Cooke and the Crown Prince of Sikkim. Enclosed in the link are photos of their fairy tale wedding and further photos of their married life and children. Unfortunately, the fairy tale didn't last. The Crown Prince, became the King, but was deposed and Sikkim became a territory of India. The Royal Couple divorced and Hope Cooke remarried in 1983. I hope the link works.
