The engagement
Matthew proposed to Theodora in November 2018 and she shared the news alongside loved-up photos of the pair posing against the backdrop of Tower Bridge in London.
"Words can't express our happiness and excitement. I can't wait to marry this wonderful man. I love you, Matt," she wrote.
At the time, her parents separately released a statement saying: "Their Majesties King Constantine and Queen Anne-Marie are delighted to announce the engagement of their youngest daughter Theodora to Mr Matthew Kumar.
"Further details about the forthcoming wedding will be provided in due course. Mr Matthew Kumar, 34, was born and raised in Southern California to Sam and Lonnie Kumar. He is a practising attorney in Los Angeles."
When their big day was postponed for the first time
Theodora and Matthew marked the scheduled date with a romantic evening out. The future newlyweds shared a snap on Instagram of themselves enjoying a Greek feast of salad, olives, bread, and cheese, accompanied by a refreshing drink.
Theodora wrote: "On what should have been our wedding weekend, the love and support from friends and family have been so heartwarming. We can't wait to celebrate with all of you in Greece when it's safe."
