Giannis and Mariah's wedding was reportedly a three-day celebration that took place at Costa Navarino, a luxury beachfront destination near the town of Pylos in the Peloponnese.
In the official blog of the resort, Antetokounmpo spoke about his love for the place:
“There’s so much to do here, and it’s a safe environment. When you get here, you know there will be people around, but it’s good that my kids can grow up in a safe environment, go to the beach, ride their bicycles or play on the water slides, all without me worrying too much. I’m also thinking 10 to 15 years into the future when they’ll be older."
The festivities reportedly began on Friday and featured a white-dress party, followed by a Nigeria-inspired bash on Saturday, paying homage to Antetokounmpo’s heritage. The couple were reportedly wed in a Greek Orthodox and Catholic hybrid ceremony on Sunday, with Antetokounmpo's Bucks teammate Khris Middleton serving as the best man.
Other current and former Bucks teammates attended the wedding, including Bobby Portis, Jrue Holiday and Wesley Matthews. Bucks insider Nathan Marzion took to X, formerly Twitter, on Sunday to share a photo of the group posing together at the wedding.
The wedding is estimated to have had a 200-person guest list, as per Eurohoops. Various high-profile sports figures were purportedly in attendance, including LA Lakers star LeBron James and tennis icon Serena Williams.
Greece men's national basketball team coach Vassilis Spanoulis and Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis were also reportedly among the attendees at the wedding.
Despite the guest list including various big names, Giannis and Mariah successfully kept their wedding private for the most part.
