The countdown has begun for the wedding of Nikolaos de Grèce and Chryssi Vardinogianni, set to take place on Friday, February 7, at 6:00 PM at the Church of Saint Nicholas Ragkavas.

According to the family’s announcement, the ceremony will be attended only by close relatives and friends. The best men will be the bride’s father, Giorgos Vardinogiannis, and the groom’s brother, Pavlos de Grèce.

Sources reveal that the guest list will be limited to just 50 people, and each best man has been assigned a specific role. Giorgos Vardinogiannis will be responsible for exchanging the wedding rings, while Pavlos de Grèce will place the wedding crowns on the couple.

Strict security measures will be in place to ensure a smooth ceremony, with surrounding streets closed to traffic. Given the church’s location in the Anafiotika area of Plaka, guests are expected to begin arriving at 5:15 PM.

The couple has opted for a discreet and understated ceremony to avoid excessive media attention. A reception will follow after the wedding.

Earlier today (February 5), the bride, groom, and best men visited the church in central Athens for the wedding rehearsal, as seen in exclusive photos published by protothema.gr.
