And even non noble spouses becoming reigning consorts, coming to my mind:
1568: King Erik XIV of Sweden & Karin Månsdotter (his mistress); there are other examples in the Vasa dynasty
1892: Prince Albert I of Monaco & Alice Heine (the first American sitting on a European throne)
1946: Prince Louis II of Monaco & Ghislaine Dommanget
1956: Prince Rainier III of Monaco & Grace Kelly
1941: King Leopold III of Belgium & Lilian Baels (although she never became queen of the Belgians, but she was princess of Belgium)
