Nikolaos and Chrysi Vardinogianni were united by the sacred bonds of marriage in a romantic ceremony in Athens’ historic Plaka district.
Members of Spanish and Danish royal families gathered in Athens for the wedding of Nikolaos, son of Greece’s late former king Constantine II and Chrysi Vardinogianni, the daughter of shipping magnate Giorgos Vardinogiannis.
Nikolaos, 55, is the third child of Constantine II and Danish princess Anne-Marie, who were the last King and Queen of Greece.
The ceremony was held in Athens, Greece, and many well-known friends and family attended to honour the couple’s union.
The Greek Orthodox wedding of Nikolaos De Grèce and Chrysi Vardinogianni took place on Friday, February 7, 2025, at 18:00 at the Holy Church of St. Nicholas Rangavas in Athens.
The ceremony was led by His Eminence, Metropolitan of Kissamos & Selinos, Amphilochios, and attended by close relatives and friends.
The groom’s siblings, Pavlos, Alexia, and Theodora, and his nephew Konstantinos-Alexios were among the couple’s best men and bridesmaids.
Vardinogianni, wearing a stunning lace gown with short sleeves and a long white flowing veil, was accompanied to the church by her father Giorgos Vardinogiannis who is the brother of the late oil and shipping tycoon Vardis Vardinogiannis.
A few minutes earlier, Nikolaos had arrived at the church, accompanied by his mother.

The spotlight was on Chrysi Vardinogianni who wore an elegant wedding dress in an intimate ceremony. Her hair was styled in a loose updo, with a long, truly impressive veil.
As the ceremony concluded, the couple joyfully exited the church, greeting their loved ones who attended their wedding.
Almost the entire Vardinogianni family attended the ceremony, with the bride’s mother Agapi arriving early at the church. The Greek billionaire shipping magnate and son of the late Vardis Vardinogiannis was also present.
