The wedding reception locale was absolutely spectacular!😯 It took place right on the beach with thousands of tiny candles placed directly on the sand/shoreline leading to the sea.

There was a raised area outdoors with round tables for dinner and a pavilion under a canopy for maybe dancing? The photos are in the cake cutting IG.

Kudos to Anne Marie or whomever planned this wedding. Everything was beautiful.👍

The bride looked radiant and the tiara/dress and veil were all perfect as were the settings too!

Hello Greece publishes exclusive photos

Thanks Lula, these are some new photos I haven't seen before. They are great!! Everyone looks much more relaxed, having fun in the post wedding reception photos.

It was nice to finally see a photo of Matthew's parents together with him. Having their son marry the daughter of the former King and Queen of Greece must be somewhat daunting. I know we saw the father alone at the wedding with other family members. Matthew's mother was dressed very lovely despite appearing to perhaps struggle with some medical issues.

I wish Princess Theodora and Matthew the best and whatever obstacles are in their way may be overcome.

No, in the last 24 years since Queen Ingrid's death the Greek cousins did not annually spend summers with the Danes. It was Queen Ingrid who loved to unite all her grandchildren in Graasten.
In Margrethe's time there were 2 family reunions, once at Christmas in 2006 and once in the summer in 2022. I also remember Princess Alexia in Graasten in the summer after Christian's birth. And the Greeks were invited to the big royal events, jubilees, birthdays and weddings, of which there were many.
I guess they will also be invited in the future and perhaps there will be special reunions or invitations of one or the other cousin (this year it was Gustav and Carina) but the annual gatherings are definitely a thing of the past for a while now.

I don't know if it is considered a family reunion but the three sisters and their kin gathered together in December 2014.

Queen Sofia got a lot of attention. I liked when she was supposed to go up on the carpeted steps and right away changed her mind like if thinking 'I'm not risking tripping on that carpet!' and got her grandkids to escort her to the safer steps.

I agree. Unpopular opinion perhaps but the bridal gown would have been even more successful the way Theodora wore it for her dinner reception. I am not even sure why the "bib" was necessary?
Even so, she looked absolutely beautiful.

I have seen IG photos of M-O and Nina Flohr barefoot at the reception dancing wildly. One of Infanta Cristina's sons joins them with a drink in his hand. What fun!😂

I think this might be(along with Beatrice of York's) my favorite recent Royal wedding.😉
 
I am sure Pavlov was so moved to give his sister away on her wedding day.

It seems like Theodora’s siblings all gave a speech together at the pre wedding event which I’m sure was very special!

I think the main reason for the "bib" is to cover her shoulders while in the cathedral. To meet that criteria she liked the look of it on her dress. I agree though the dress was gorgeous without it at the wedding reception.

I thought that was the purpose of it too until I studied close ups of the dress with the top removed. The sleeves were short but her shoulders were definitely not exposed.It would have been perfectly fine for a church wedding imo, but if Theodora preferred the covering that's what was important.

It's a very beautiful gown with exquisite crystal beading.

I read on another Forum that after dinner she changed into yet another dress for dancing.
I hope someone took a photo.😉

I see what you mean about the sleeves once the cover was off, a capped sleeve would probably be just enough. The gown really was exquisite! I'm excited to see her additional dress of the night, for dancing.:giggle:

I thought it was always part of the dress.

Note aside, it's kind of sad King Constantine didn't live long enough to see this wedding happen.

Something is really confusing me regarding that exquisite veil. Every article that I have read about poor Margaret of Connaught (including Wiki) said that she requested and was buried in her bridal veil....but meanwhile it's been worn by so many recent Royal brides.
Can anyone clear this up?🤔

Her request was that she was covered in the veil in her casket, but that it be removed prior to burial and left to her daughter.
 
Thank you so much blooms_rulers. That was certainly not made clear in any of the articles I read about her death.
 
Theodora’s dress at the reception:

https://www.instagram.com/danishroyalsisters_/p/DAlQTu3PCjk/?img_index=3

Theodora’s wedding dress is very stunning but I dislike the band (not sure what specificity it’s called) as I find it too wide. If it was not for the band then it would have been on my favorite royal wedding dresses list. The details of the dress are stunning and the dress itself is very elegant and regal .
 
It's the same dress as her church wedding dress but without the 'shawl'.

How lovely to see her siblings doing some sketch and/or song...
 
Yes, exactly. It's the same dress with the shoulder covering removed.

I wish Theodora had worn it that way in church. It's a beautiful dress and it wouldn't have been inappropriate for church without the shawl.

Not sure yet if Theo's dress will be on my Top Royal Brides list but she was definitely the most beautiful of the recent Greek Royal brides, followed by Tatiana.(IMO)

And she just looks sooo happy.🥰

Yes I was always aware that was the same dress that she wore at the ceremony. Also I can no longer edit my original post but when I said that the band was too wide, I meant to say it’s a little too large to me.

Also, I agree MoonMaiden23 that the dress without the shawl would have not been inappropriate for a church wedding.

I saw many members of his family at wedding. Is he of Indian origin? At least the lady i saw (presume his mother) seem so, the gentleman also. Other people also seem to be his siblings and a young boy his nefew ?
He seems to be a gentle person, furthermore his legal issues are not an agreable situation.
It is true he showed high enthusiasm... but this can be explained because after 2 postponing.... be married finally is a great relief..

Matthew is biracial. His father Shalendra "Sam" Kumar is Asian- Indian origin but born in Fiji and his mother Yolanda Sherry Richards is white- born in Nevada, USA.
