Following the reception, Christian's parents, the Prince and Princess of Fürstenberg will host a reception at the schloss for several hundred guests.

The couple have much in common. both like to travel, and in their spare time, they play polo. Both were on the team that won the Donaueschingen Cup in Fürstenberg. Christian is an economist specializing in real estate, and is preparing for his eventual role as head of the Fürstenberg princely family. Miss Griesel has a MBA from the European School of Business in Paris. Since 2009, she has been working on her doctoral thesis at Freien Universität in Berlin.

The religious wedding will take place in Rome two weeks later. They said they wanted to start a family right away.
