The bride and groom dancing a Greek dance

I like that they did something with a nod to Greece. Curious if it's very true to tradition or if they just threw something in there (maybe onar can tell us?).

I think Nina may be a billionaire's daughter, but she does not seem (to me) to have had much exposure to being in the media as her now inlaws are or have grown up in.

She did what she liked with all the freedome that much money provided.

from the photos I've seen of her on the net, she didn't come across as a fashion conscious or a coat hanger

she is now going to be scrutinised to the 'th degree and it'll be interesting to see how she can and will deal with it.

Her 'weight' will be picked up on, her hair, her clothes...oh no baby yet...oh girl baby...when is the boy coming then...etc etc...

It can get merciless...

I think she is more into her 'husband' then he is into her...just going by their body language, JMO, tho'...

G Smiley

There are many women who have no media exposure, who have humble backgrounds and don't have access to high end designer wear, but who dress very well. Because they have taste. They can make even thrift store finds look original or edgy.
So I don't believe Nina has bad taste because she previously didn't have media exposure. It's because she doesn't have any taste. Another very rich girl who also has no taste is Claire of Luxembourg. Neither Nina nor Claire seem to be pre-occupied with fashion so that's nice to see. If I had their money, though, and little interest in fashion, I think I'd hire a personal stylist who has the interest and the taste to assemble nice outfits for me.

Totally agree that she seems blissfully happy, while him...not so much.  Her smiles are wide, genuine, frequent. She looks simply joyful.
He smiles less and not fully. I'm not seeing the body language of a guy who thinks he really lucked out and got the girl of his dreams.
He did his job: marry a very rich girl who could bring a royal lifestyle to the Greek family. The Greek family itself isn't accomplished and successful in their own right. The men used their royal position to move in elite circles and attract girls who wanted a royal pedigree.

Not to be too cynical, but I think the highlighted part IS the girl of his dreams. I don't know that he/they prioritize romantic love and compatibility as much as financial compatibility.  Whichever poster earlier made the connection with the American Dollar Duchesses made a good point.

Not to say he's miserable, but I don't get the vibe that he feels like he's living a modern-day fairy tale like she does.  Hopefully I'm wrong and he's just more reserved!

New member here--but I've read for a few years.  Several comments--feel free to tell me if I should post in another way.

Loved the Greek dancing by Nina and P.  She does have poor fashion taste, but she is not a fashionista.  She does her own thing.   I read  somewhere that her mother and half sister  (I am assuming) "the bride's family" were some of the more nicely dressed--I agree. Very appropriate--not showy. I only saw one of the two of them together.  Her mother has worked for Vogue so a little guidance would have been nice, but whatever.

I think they will be very happy together.  He smiled more than I have ever seen. He has always been a private person and now they can hide out in Switzerland (?) together. I have read that he was the serious brother -and he hardly ever smiles.  Some people don't.  Nina seems to be  a warm and loving person so maybe he'll lighten up.  I believe he is the most intellectual of the three brothers and she is a cut above most.  She majored in global studies and the environment in college.  As creative director of VistaJet (her father's airline) she was responsible for putting books on the airplanes.  And at the Kisawa Sanctuary resort--her project in Mozambique ($5000. a night I have read) she wanted a library.  At the eco friendly resort there is a research facility to study the sea animals (or something environmental).  The income from the resort is supposed to fund the research center. The resort won a National Geographic award.  She came from a broken home and I believe she will enjoy the family atmosphere.  Anne Marie, Alexia and Theo seem very warm.  Alexia and her husband always look happy and it was nice to see their beautiful family who are seldom seen (in contrast to MC, MO).  If my comments are  interesting to you I'll write more later.  I do have some questions.

Welcome! It's always fun to take the plunge and start posting - I just read for years as well. I do think for as annoying as this family's behavior tends to be (to me at least), they come across as very close with one another and those three do seem warm and nice. Thanks for sharing the information about Nina's family!

Welcome!!!

This is my opinion as well of Alexia & Theo.  Both have this "shy" quality about them.

Hi and wecome!!!!!!!
Alexia is my favourite and I agree she always seems so warm and kind.
I wish we could get more of her but she obviously values a lot her privace and her family life.
I just wish we could get to know her better but, on the other hand, thank God she's not another (ex) royal who doesn't seen herself as a celebrity!
That's rear!
I enjoy every time we get a glimpse of Anne Marie, she seems truly kind.

My bf commented on the wedding and he was furious. He doesn't like monarchy at all, he of course thought it was a showing-off and he's pretty much annoyed they call themeselves greeks but don't speek greek flluently or they're not truly familiar with greek customs and greek lifestyle.
I'd like to add here that an average greek lifestyle is also based on the hard financial conditions that the average greek person has to deal with, so it's not only their "foreigner's" background, it's also their wealth that allows them to not experience the negative side of being a greek, living in Greece.
I'll stop here because apart for the genera info, I start going off topic.

I don’t really see them as Greek... the ex King has Danish background.... the “original king was danish” but I appreciate that the family from him lived there for a long time... he married AM  a Danish princess.... they had to leave Greece and lived in Uk for decades... how long do they get to call themselves “Greek and Denmark” and the grandchildren and soon more in future generations?
