A Wedding For The Ages With 30 Million In “Attendance”
Obviously, 30 million people couldn’t pour into the church to watch Grace Kelly tie the knot with the Prince of Monaco, however, that number did tune in on TV to experience the most extravagant wedding of all time. In very real numbers, Grace Kelly’s wedding and her conversion to the “Princess of Monaco” was the Super Bowl of wedding events.
Even without her millions of adoring fans, it was still a massive wedding that welcomed approximately 600 guests. Kelly and Rainer were first wed in private but held a public ceremony fit for a princess.
Media outlets around the world quickly deemed it to be the “wedding of the century.”
