After three days of an incognito (to the extent possible) wedding party, the couple got married at Costa Navarino on Sunday in a Catholic and Greek Orthodox wedding ceremony, as the bride is Catholic.
The ceremony took place around seven in the evening at the Golf Court, the largest in Greece, with the view of Navarino Bay. The sunset across the bay offered the couple the most romantic backdrop when exchanging vows.

The wedding was celebrated by 200 guests and 30 VVIPs from the sports world, including the families of the newlyweds, friends of the couple, and Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis with his wife Mareva Grabowski.
Greek basketball legend Vassilis Spanoulis with his wife and children and the Olympian, Emanouil Karalis were among the Greek athletes in attendance.
NBA VVIP LeBron James who flew in on his private plane and Serena Williams traveled to Greece for the special wedding. Chris Middleton of the Milwaukee Bucks was the best man and Giannis’ teammates along with those from Greece’s National Team were also present.
After the completion of the ceremony, the newlyweds took their VIP guests on a tour of Pylos, where the Costa Navarino resort is located.
Three-day celebration
The three-day celebration began on Friday when the “White Party” was held at the ‘W’ Hotel with all guests dressed in white.
Giannis Antetokounmpo arrived with Mariah from Navarino Bay in a boat in the magical landscape of the bay while fireworks lit the sky.
On Saturday, the “Nigerian Party” was held with traditional costumes. The theme was the 29-year-old basketball player’s homeland.
The three-day events were also a celebration of an affair that began 10 years ago when Giannis met Mariah. They have been together since. They are a very private couple and most details about their relationship are hearsay.
Yet there are some facts that are known. Mariah Riddlesprigger’s father, Pat, played college basketball, while Mariah herself played college volleyball. It is said that the couple met in 2014, when Giannis was an NBA rookie and Mariah was graduating from Rice University’s Sports Management program.
Since then, the happy couple have had three children: Liam, who is 4; Maverick Shai, 3; and their newborn daughter, Eva Brooke.
