Prince Albert II of Monaco finally marries Charlene Wittstock at a 20-minute short civil ceremony on the tiny Riviera principality following a week of intrigue and rumor.

Around 80 family members, friends and dignitaries at Monaco's royal palace attended the wedding on Friday.

Wittstock, 33, a former Olympic swimmer for South Africa, succeeds Hollywood beauty Grace Kelly, who wed Albert's father Prince Rainier III in 1956 and died in a car accident almost three decades ago.

The wedding dress and carabinieri uniform, of the royal couple worn during their wedding, are displayed at the exhibition ''Story of the royal wedding'' at the Oceanographic Museum of Monaco July 10, 2011.
