. . . and all the world said "ah-h-h-h! Rita and Aly sealed their marriage vows with a kiss on May 27, after the civil ceremony was performed by Mayor Derigon (right) of Vallauris. In a white suit (left), is the immensely wealthy Aga Khan. Friends and relatives of Aly gave the wedding and reception lots of exotic color and excitement. Natives of the small town were thrilled to find the saried women and turbanned men suddenly in their midst. Only the strong arm of the law kept the townspeople of Vallauris from mobbing the bridal couple as they drove from the wedding. Aly, in the spirit of a potentate, donated generously to town's charities. Under Aly's watchful eye, Rita used a long, white-handled sword to slice the three-tier wedding cake. The reception was held at Aly's Chateau de L'Horizon in Cannes and champagne flowed like water. In the brilliant Mediterranean sunshine, groups of musicians strolled in the sea-lapped grounds of the Chateau, serenading Rita and Aly and their reception guests with tunes from many of Rita's pictures. Rita and Aly sat at a table with their children during the reception. Prince Karim and Prince Amyon are Aly's sons by his former wife, Joan Bu Her. Rebecca's father is Orson Welles, Rita's second husband.
