The intimate wedding was attended by close family members, and the couple shared photos from their special day on social media. The 35-year-old investigative journalist looked sharp in a blue suit, while the Italian artist and visual creator chose a romantic look with a lace blazer and a bouquet of white and yellow flowers. Their beloved dog was also part of the celebration, striking a pose alongside them in the photos.

Countdown to the Wedding in Spetses
But that’s not all — the couple will also celebrate with a religious wedding on Saturday, June 28th, on the charming island of Spetses, at the quaint Church of Saint Spyridon. About 100 guests are expected to arrive by boat from Spetses, and afterward, a reception with food and music will take place. Later, a festive party is planned in Patmos, with friends from around the world joining in the celebration.

Among the guests are expected to be the groom’s father, Spyros Niarchos; his mother, Daphne Guinness; his siblings and cousins, including Stavros Niarchos with his wife Dasha Zhukova; Eugenia and Elektra Niarchos; and Theo Niarchos with his partner Camille Rouw.

The bride, Maria Ludovica, hails from an aristocratic Italian family and has spent time living in Russia. She studied in Paris, London, and Moscow, and now resides in New York with Nikolas Niarchos. The couple has been together for four years and got engaged just a few months ago. Nikolas is involved in investigative journalism and photography, having collaborated with major international outlets like The Guardian, The New Yorker, and The Independent.
