sissiofaustria: (via Habsburg-Wittelsbach Fórum - Index Fórum) The engagement of Crown Prince Rudolf of Austria with princess Stephanie of Belgium Franz-Josef and Sissi greet Stephanie in the Small Gallery at Schonbrunn. The forty-eight branch chandeliers and the candelabra in sculpted, fine gold-plated wood, light the scene. Franz-Josef advances towards his daughter-in-law and hugs her. The Emperor is happy about this marriage, which is dictated only for reasons of State. Elisabeth, wholly concerned with unions where there are feelings, tries to hide her opposition by detachment. -- source link
