Dozens of photos were shared on social media from the pre-wedding party of Theodora Glucksburg, daughter of the former King Constantine, and her fiancé, Matthew Kumar, which took place in the garden of the Byzantine Museum.
In these images, the couple’s moments of happiness throughout the party, surrounded by their distinguished guests, are captured.
In one video, the couple is seen dancing to the song “Drapetsona,” composed by Mikis Theodorakis with lyrics by Tasos Livaditis. The guests applauded them continuously as they danced.
The party was a formal affair with 250 close relatives and friends, both royal and non-royal.
It was a seated dinner with music. The museum’s space was rented to the former royal family of Greece, with one significant obligation – the family had to cover the cost of maintaining the museum’s gardens, including plant renewal and equipment upkeep.
Members of royal families and foreign journalists have arrived in Greece for the three-day event, with much attention from the foreign press on the wedding and reception, where haute couture outfits will be on full display. On Sunday, the newlyweds will also host a farewell brunch for all their guests, once again at the One & Only Aesthesis.
