Prince Nikolaos and fiancée Chrysí Vardinogianni look so in love at intimate rehearsal dinner – best photos

Nikolaos and Chrysí arrived to the event together, and the pair couldn’t look happier. The duo’s smiles spoke miles as they walked closely together.

The engaged couple resembled teenagers in love as they giggled together.

Chrysí has long been a family friend of the Greek royals. She and Nikolaos seemingly went public with their relationship just last month when she accompanied him to service in honour of his late father, King Constantine.

Many details Nikolaos and Chrysí’s upcoming wedding have been kept out of the public eye, but it’s been reported that the bride-to-be will walk down the aisle in a Christos Costarellos gown. The Greek brand was launched in 1998 and Meghan Markle has previously spoken of her love for their gowns.

It’s unclear yet if Nikolaos’s older brother, Crown Prince Pavlos, will be his best man, but the royal was seen in attendance. Pavlos was joined by his wife Crown Princess Marie-Chantal for the event.

Speaking to Greek media, Pavlos said Nikolaos was “very happy” about the upcoming wedding. “I don’t think he’s nervous at all,” he explained. “I’m very happy, I think he’s very happy and the rest of you will have to ask him [about being best man]. I love being here and seeing that things are going well.”

Queen Anne-Marie and Nikolaos’s sister, Princess Theodora, arrived together for the rehearsal dinner. In the cold February weather, Anne-Marie wrapped up in a beige coat, while Theodora wore a black coat with a floral dress.

Theodora was the most recent member of the Greek royal family to marry when she wed lawyer Matthew Kumar on 28 September 2024. The pair said ‘I do’ at the Metropolitan Cathedral of Athens with 250 guests witnessing the ceremony.

Crown Prince Pavlos’s eldest son and presumptive heir, Constantine-Alexios, was also in attendance at the service. The dashing royal looked very dapper in a navy jumper and jeans.

Chrysí is the daughter of Greek shipowner Giorgos Varinogianni and he was seen supporting his daughter at her rehearsal dinner. The businessman wore a sharp blue suit for the event.
