Prince Nikolaos is due to marry Chrysí Vardinogianni on Friday, with the royal couple having a whirlwind of an engagement. The big news was reported only weeks before the pair's wedding.
On Wednesday, the happy couple were joined by friends and family as they attended an intimate rehearsal dinner for their upcoming nuptials. Nikolaos and Chrysí kept the guest list small, and only a select few were seen in attendance including the groom's older brother, Crown Prince Pavlos, and their mother, Queen Anne-Marie.
Nikolaos and Chrysí were the pictures of love in the photos, with Nikolaos wrapping his arm around his bride-to-be as the pair smiled while walking to the service.

Chrysí has long been a family friend of the Greek royals. She and Nikolaos seemingly went public with their relationship just last month when she accompanied him to service in honour of his late father, King Constantine.

Many details Nikolaos and Chrysí's upcoming wedding have been kept out of the public eye, but it's been reported that the bride-to-be will walk down the aisle in a Christos Costarellos gown. The Greek brand was launched in 1998 and Meghan Markle has previously spoken of her love for their gowns.

Speaking to Greek media, Pavlos said Nikolaos was "very happy" about the upcoming wedding. "I don't think he's nervous at all," he explained. "I'm very happy, I think he's very happy and the rest of you will have to ask him [about being best man]. I love being here and seeing that things are going well."
