Prince Aimone of Savoy-Aosta and Princess Olga of Greece, September 2008

On the contrary,I wouldn't want to see them at all...You see?I didn't want to comment on this,but I can't resist anymore!It's a fact that Olga has an excellent taste,nobody can disagree.But,in my opinion,she went a little bit too far with her wedding.Perhaps she wanted everything to be unique and avant-garde,but the result was rather strange...it seems that their good taste stopped right after they chose Patmos for the wedding...

I would like to see them, because I have a hard time imagining such crazy shoes. They sound so ridiculous, and I would love to know what she was thinking when she decided to wear them. After all, she didn't get married on Halloween-therefore I can't even begin to understand why she would choose something so silly.

That is why I am all the more intrigued! I would have loved to know what he thought of her shoe choice!

I guess he was excited when he listened to her idea and voluntered to make them for her

If you are Orthodox and don't marry in an Orthodox ceremony, you are not allowed to receive the Eucharist or other sacraments of the Church. Marriage is one of the sacraments of the Church.

My guess that since they would become part of the house of Savoy-Aosta and not the Royal Greek House that they will be raised under the Roman Rite.

Maybe not, if Olga's faith is important to her and he knows that she will no longer be allowed to receive the sacraments. I know at least two Orthodox who have married Catholics and their children have been baptized Orthodox.

This is not really true. You are forbidden from sacrements only when you are excommunited, and this is a very serious sanctions, it does not happen just because of a wedding, or other.

I believe that Olga's children will be raised as Roman Catholic, because Amedeo's position to the IRF and his successions rights are higher than Olga's inside the GRF.

On the oposite side, Princess Alexia's childredn are GO.
