Iconic Weddings: Grace Kelly and Prince Rainer

Before Diana, before Kate, there was Grace. The sublime actress Grace Kelly  married Prince Rainier of Monaco in 1956. It was the perfect marriage of Hollywood and Royalty, the wedding dubbed by the media as "the wedding of the century" was televised and watched by over 30 million people. It was the first time the words "fairytale" and "wedding" entered the popular lexicon together, before that, royalty had only ever married royalty and many breathlessly followed the preparations with dreams of such a fairytale wedding of their own.
