Empress Maria Feodorovna
Empress Maria was originally from Denmark where her father was King. Maria Feodorvna was warmly welcomed in Kronstadt by Alexander the II of Russia and all his family. She became Grand Duchess Maria Feodorovna of Russia.
The lavish wedding took place on November 9th 1866 in the Imperial Chapel of the Winter Palace in St. Petersburg.
After the wedding night, Alexander wrote in his diary, "I took off my slippers and my silver embroidered robe and felt the body of my beloved next to mine... How I felt then, I do not wish to describe here. Afterwards we talked for a long time.”
After the many wedding parties were over, the newlyweds moved into Anichkov Palace in St. Petersburg where they lived for the next 15 years, when they were not taking extended holidays at their summer villa Livadia in the Crimea.
Maria Feodorovna was pretty and popular. Early on she made it a priority to learn the Russian language and to try to understand the Russian people. She rarely interfered with politics, preferring to devote her time and energies to her family, charities and the more social side of her position. She was known within her family as Minnie.
