At 6:30 p.m. on April 24, 1854, the festivities began. The court had gathered in the ceremony apartments. The service called for the emperor and his bride to enter the church together; the assembled court dignitaries, grand masters, superintendents, chamberlains and palace ladies formed their retinue. As soon as everyone was present and arranged in the predefined order, the chief master of ceremonies reported to the emperor's court grand master that the entry into the church could begin. Prince Liechtenstein, who had been waiting with the bridal couple and the imperial family in the private apartments, informed Franz Joseph, and so they headed for the ceremony apartments.
The court saw Elisabeth for the first time in her wedding dress. She was strikingly beautiful, all present agreed. The slender and delicate 16-year-old wore a gown of gorgeous antique moirĂŠ silk richly embroidered in gold and silver, cinched at the waist and with a long, heavy train of silk reps, also decorated with gold embroidery. Her hair was combed in the manner of her first portraits in the betrothal months: parted in the center, curled inward at the sides, and gathered at the nape of the neck. A very fine veil attached to a sparkling tiara covered the hair. Around it, as well as on the dress, the maids had added branches of blooming myrtle, as befitting a virgin bride.
After Franz Joseph and Elisabeth had entered the apartments and all present had bowed, the procession was formed and set off for the church. Two court harbingers were at the head, followed by the pages âyoung aristocrats who performed minor duties in court ceremonies. Then followed the superintendents, chamberlains, grand masters, and finally the highest dignitaries. This succession reflected the court hierarchy âthe closer one was to the emperor, the higher one's rankâ and was an order observed by all men in the imperial family. After the archdukes, in the center of the procession came the emperor, accompanied by his grand chamberlain, the captain of trabants, and the first adjutant general. Only after the men was it the turn of the women, who closed the procession: behind Franz Joseph walked the bride, whose long train was carried by pages. Elisabeth was accompanied by her mother and Franz Joseph's mother, on her right and left respectively. They were followed by all the archduchesses, then the palace ladies and finally the ladies-in-waiting of the archduchesses. The heart of the bridal procession was then the bride and groom, on whose sides marched six soldiers of the corps of archers with bayonets drawn.
The large procession arrived at the church via the Augustinergang, the Augustinian corridor, without having to parade down the street. This ancient connection provided direct access from the Hofburg to the Augustinian church. And so the imposing bridal procession passed the bodyguards in front of the apartments and crossed through the Augustinian nave, supported by a heavy vault, lit by thousands of candles, lined with precious carpets and richly decorated with floral decorations. In the meantime, all those who, by virtue of their position or origin, were entitled to a seat (admittedly, according to a strict order of rank) had gathered in the church: aristocrats, as well as imperial and royal generals, the officer corps and diplomatic corps, awaited the wedding procession. When the main actor, the emperor, entered the church, trumpets and kettledrums sounded. The wedding ceremony was performed by Viennese Cardinal Joseph von Rauscher, assisted by seventy archbishops, bishops and pre-sides. Franz Joseph and Elisabeth passed under a canopy, knelt on a stool and prayed in silence. After the cardinal had consecrated the rings, they got up and went to the steps of the high altar, where they exchanged vows. The Hofburg parish then handed the rings to the bride and groom on a gold saucer; they exchanged rings and shook hands. During the subsequent blessing, the cannons of the Augustinian bastion thundered, and at this signal, those of the other bastions of Vienna also fired blanks for the emperor and the new empress. Meanwhile, in St. Augustine's Church, Franz Joseph and Elisabeth had taken their places on thrones. After the blessing, they got up and left the church to the sound of trumpets and kettledrums and another volley of cannon shots, returning to the Hofburg in the same orderly procession as they had gone.
There, the newlyweds and their families briefly retired to their apartments to freshen up; the last part of the day's festivities, which in all likelihood for Elisabeth was also the most exhausting, was yet to come. While the new empress could rest for a moment in her private apartments ânot alone, of course, but in the company of several dozen archdukes and archduchessesâ the dignitaries arranged themselves in the reception rooms for the cercle. All diplomats and envoys, aristocrats, and court dignitaries present had the right to be introduced to the imperial couple and to make themselves known with a brief personal address.

ON THIS DAY, IN 1854, EMPEROR FRANZ JOSEF I MARRIED HIS FIRST COUSIN DUCHESS ELISABETH IN BAVARIA. Franz Josef was the eldest son of Archduke Franz Karl of Austria and Princess Sophie of Bavaria. Elisabeth was the second daughter of Duke Maximilian in Bavaria and Princess Ludovika of Bavaria.
Although it's often claimed that Sophie had planned years in advance the marriage of his son to Elisabeth's eldest sister Helene, there isn't any actual evidence of this. It's hardly likely that Helene had been groomed for years to become empress, since Sophie in fact had tried to get Princess Anna of Prussia's hand for her son in 1852.
Elisabeth and Franz Josef had three daughters and a son. They were married for 43 years, until Elisabeth's assassination in 1898. Her husband outlived her by 18 years, dying in 1916.
In memory of Empress Elisabeth of Austria, who was assassinated in 1898, a monument was unveiled on June 4, 1907, in Viennaâs Volksgarten. The construction of this memorial site was initiated by a committee under the patronage of Archduke Otto of Austria and his wife Maria Josepha of Saxony. Emperor Franz Joseph I and the entire imperial court were present to pay tribute once more to the beloved Empress.
In the footage, Emperor Franz Joseph I appears alongside his sister-in-law, Marie Sophie, Duchess in Bavaria, the former Queen of the Two Sicilies.

Romy Schneider as Empress Elisabeth of Austria in the third movie of "Sissi" (1958)
"The Empress Elizabeth, for she it was, had at that time a very youthful gipsy -like expression, with brown laughing eyes and rather a roguish smile on her lips. She was very tall and graceful, and I remember remarking her long flowing dress, like a train, and her small, rather coquettish bonnet. I saw the Empress again, riding in the Prater, in a dark blue habit, with her long glorious plaits hanging down to her waist. She sat her horse well, and was a fine and intrepid rider.
Another time we were bidden to an evening party at Court and duly presented to their Majesties. The Empress was all in white, with great gleaming knots Chapter of emeralds in her wonderful hair. During the evening, ^whilst she and Lady Dudley were seated together on a sofa. Lord Dudley said to me, " There are the two most beautiful women in the world." And I thought he was right. Poor Empress, her life was a sad one, but not so abnormally sad as that of the Emperor!"

Empress Sissi

"Today I saw the Duchess of Alençon, the sister to the Empress. A carriage was parked in front of a shop on rue Marie-ThĂŠrèse... The shop door opened, a large dog ran up to the carriage, and then a lady emerged: like the Empress herself, but thinner, more fragile, and petite. Her appearance stunned me... The Duchess had no idea that she was being stared at so intently, or that my thoughts were hovering between her and her imperial sisterâŚ"
