Theodora, 41, announced her engagement to a lawyer in Los Angeles in November 2018. Their wedding was postponed twice – first in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and then after the death of Theodora’s father in January 2023.
The couple exchanged vows at the Cathedral of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the same church where Theodora’s parents were married on September 18, 1964. King Constantine and Queen Anne-Marie were married for almost 60 years and they had five children.
The bride’s brothers, Crown Prince Pavlos and Prince Phillipos were chosen as best men, as were Crown Prince Pavlos and Crown Princess Marie-Chantal’s second son, Prince Achilleas- Andreas. At the same time, the daughter of Pavlos and Marie-Chantal, Princess Marie-Olympia, and the eldest daughter of Princess Alexia, Arrietta Morales de Grecia, were invited as bridesmaids.

The bride walked down the aisle in a Celia Kritharioti off-the-shoulder gown embellished with sequins and beading, which also featured a tiara and veil. Theodora had a beautiful bouquet of white roses in her hands. The bride accessorized her wedding look with laconic diamond earrings and a bracelet on her wrist. The groom wore a black tailcoat, a snow-white shirt, a suit and a blue cloth tie.

As a reminder, Constantine, father of the late Princess Theodora, was the last king of Greece before the monarchy was abolished in 1973, although his descendants still represent the country as princes and princesses.
