On 25 August 2011, Prince Georg Friedrich of Prussia and Princess Sophie of Isenburg were civilly married at Potsdam. Their religious wedding followed two days later, on 27 August. As the groom is Protestant (Lutheran) and the bride is Roman Catholic, the ecumenical religious ceremony took place at the Friedenskirche, where the Protestant pastor Michael Wohlrab and the retired Roman Catholic abbot Count Georg Henckel von Donnersmarck presided over the nuptials.
