These days I am reading the book named Historical Leaders and their Loves. There are a lot of interesting storied about the well-known persons and their both evident and secrets love affairs. There are a lot of sacrifices that were given for the State's sake and one of them is Persian Shah Reza and Queen Soraya Esfandiary-Bakhtiari's marrage.
Soraya was not the first wife of Shah's and neither the last. As she could not have a child and the throne needed a male line generation, she was obliged to divorce from Shah. Soraya was europe-educationed woman and continued her life in France, even was shot in several movies like The Three Faces and She.
I would like to show you her wedding dress that was by Christian Dior. This dress was so long and heavy that, being sick she was not able to carry it till the end of the wedding ceremony and Shah ordered to the servants to cut 10 meters from the dress. This cut was not noticed by anyone :)
