Monaco set for religious wedding

Monaco - Newlyweds Prince Albert II of Monaco and Princess Charlene, a one-time Olympic swimmer from South Africa, are ready to say their vows again, this time in a star-studded religious ceremony.

The couple was married in an intimate civil service on Friday in the prince's palace. Albert, the son of Grace Kelly and the late Prince Rainier III, is Monaco's reigning prince.

The big wedding event, however, is to take place on Saturday. Guests expected at the Catholic service and gala dinner to follow include assorted European royals, top models and world class athletes.

Celebrated French-born chef Alain Ducasse is preparing a multi-course dinner for 450 guests. He has said freshly caught fish and vegetables grown on Albert's farm will be on the menu.
