  1. They had two weddings. Charlene and Albert first said "I do" in a civil ceremony in the Throne Room of the royal palace on July 1, 2011, and then again the following day in a religious ceremony.
  2. Charlene created her "something blue." For the civil ceremony, Charlene wore a blue suit, which she later revealed was a collaboration between her and Karl Lagerfeld. "We wanted something to match the color of my eyes. It is my creation, and I’m proud of it. It’s feminine and keeps with tradition, yet has a little twist that reflects my personal style," she told Vogue in 2011. "I thought it was a nice change to go for trousers instead of a skirt, especially since I’m an athlete and have always kept my clothes clean and simple." The blue color has since been referred to as "Charlene Blue."
