This evening, Prince Nikolaos of Greece and Chrysí Vardinogiánni exchanged vows in a low-key ceremony in Athens, only weeks after announcing their engagement. The wedding marks the second for both: Chrysí, who was previously married to singer Stefanos Xypolitas, and Nikolaos, who recently separated from Princess Tatiana after 13 years of marriage.
Chrysí, escorted by her father, Greek businessman Giorgos Vardinogiannis, wore a stunning tiara borrowed from her soon-to-be mother-in-law, Queen Anne-Marie’s Antique Corsage Tiara. This tiara has been a family heirloom worn by all of Queen Anne-Marie’s daughters-in-law, including Marie-Chantal, Nina Flohr, and even Nikolaos’s former wife, Tatiana.
The intimate ceremony took place at the historic Holy Church of Saint Nicholas Ragavas, the oldest church in Athens, with only close family and friends in attendance. The royal guest list featured members of the Greek royal family, including Queen Sofia of Spain, Princess Benedikte of Denmark, and the Prince and Princess of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg.”
