Congratulations are in order for Prince Philip of Serbia and his fiancée Danica Marinkovic. The couple tied the knot in a spectacular wedding at the White Palace in Belgrade, Serbia, with a host of European royals in attendance. Philip, 35, and his new wife Danica, 31, were the picture of happiness as they said "I do" at the Cathedral Church of St. Michael the Archangel on Saturday.

Danica was the modern bride in a full-length silk gown that featured billowy sheer long sleeves, a thick belt and a sweeping train. Her hair was styled into an elegant low chignon and decorated with pearls. The graphic designer accessorised with emerald diamond drop earrings, a matching pendant necklace and her new wedding band.
