The celebration was intimate, with around 45 guests present, maintaining a balance between elegance and simplicity. Among the attendees were notable members of their families, including princesses Sofia and Irene, underlining the family’s European royal connections. Meanwhile, both families respected a private yet celebratory atmosphere, opting to keep the royal guest list to a minimum.

Chrissi, daughter of prominent Greek businessman Giannis Vardinogiannis and Agapi Politi, made a stunning entrance at the church. Accompanied by her father, she graced the occasion in a romantic-styled wedding gown, exuding joy throughout the proceedings.
