Prince Nikolaos of Greece and his wife Tatiana

[Eric_Lowe]

Yes.

It only showed because Nicholas used to be such a golden youth (the glitter faded a bit, but still a very striking looking man) and big brother Pavlos remained in good shape. 

She is very beautiful and he is alucky man.

Best Wishes for them both. 

Eric

He is entitled to a little bit of middle age spread isnt he?
Please say YES,or else I will have to start running again!!!!!

Amen to that ! It is clear where Tatiana inherited her looks from, his father (looks and still attractive) and blonde locks from her mother. She would be agreat addition to the Greek Royal Family (and to Point & Hola...).

Er Eric.........
That is her stepfather!
Apparently her father is no longer alive.

Something that Roimat who attended the press conference posted on the following on the Royal Forums, his English not mine, I think he did a very good job!
(Hint hint A.M)


 "Tatiana Elinga Blatnik was born in Venezuela and grow up in Switzerland. Her father, Ladislav Blatnik was Slovenian and her mother, Mari-Blance Bierlein is German, married to Mr Attilio Brigienburg.
Tatiana has 4 brothers: Boris, Igor and Anouska Blatnik and a step brother, Attilio Brigienburg. She graduated from Georgetown University with a diploma at Sociology. She works for the P.R. of the Diane Von Furstenberg House of Fashion"

I also noticed that she will be baptised prior to the wedding, by no less than the Greek Orthodox Archbishop of Great Britain.

[Eric_Lowe]

Oh she works for Diane Von Furstenberg ! No wonder she looked so stylish. Yes. The rites are beautiful in the Greek Church. Although I don't think she need to do the naked in the barrel ceremony.

[Ilias_of_John]

Adults dont get "naked in a barrel" as you put it Eric.

They are fully dressed, but they are fully immersed

[Eric_Lowe]

It is a joke !  When I was accepted into the Greek Church, they told me I have to be naked in the barrel and immensed in water. In actual fact I do not need to because I was already baptised in the rites of the Trinity. I was confirmed in holy oil instead. By being Baptised, It means that Tatiana wasn't baptised before in any church.

[Ilias_of_John]

Yes, someone told me she was born Jewish
 

[Eric_Lowe]

Jewish ? Wow ! I think a Buddhist or Islamic  is not far off I guess. 

[Robert_Hall]

Eric, what do Islam and Buddhism have  to do with  Judaism ? BTW, Islam is the religion, Moslems are the people who practice it.

[Eric_Lowe]

No. I meant soon they would be deemed ok to marry into a royal family...Especially if they are willing to convert to the necessary religion. Just making a comment.

[Lucien]

A comment no less?An eloquent comment per chance eric?
Wrong,it's an example of loving to hear yourself and make a total failure.

Really,they must have immersed you for too long at some other place...

[Eric_Lowe]

Some people just don't get it. 

Anyway Best Wishes for the engaged couple.

[Ilias_of_John]

Ok boys, settle down,


She seems like a lovely girl and they are both very happy.
Thats the important thing!
Their Majesty's are happy and the Greek people will be pleased that they will shortly have a new Princess.

[Ilias_of_John]

But Eric,
You have to admit that Lucien's "Really,they must have immersed you for too long at some other place..." was funny!



I almost fell out of my chair!
