Dora Panteli wedding celebrations

Entities: John Merambelotakis · Dora Panteli · Vouliagmeni · Amalia Kostopoulou · Ios

Overview

In late July 2026 Greek sports journalist and TV presenter Dora Panteli celebrated her marriage to businessman John Merambeliotakis with a series of events. A pre‑wedding party on 22 July at a seaside restaurant in Kineta featured Panteli performing a traditional zeibekiko dance. On 25 July the civil ceremony coincided with the first birthday of their son Pete, which Panteli highlighted in an Instagram post.

The religious wedding followed at the Church of Panagia Faneromeni in Vouliagmeni, where Panteli wore a white satin strapless gown with a heart‑shaped bodice and a pearl‑adorned veil, joined by Merambeliotakis and their son. After the service the couple and guests moved to a reception on the Athenian Riviera for a romantic first dance. Later the celebration shifted to the Island beach club, where Panteli changed into a lighter white outfit, the couple shared a first dance, fireworks illuminated the night, and festivities continued into the early hours, underscoring both the wedding and Pete’s birthday.

Panteli later posted a heartfelt Instagram message thanking followers and wishing Pete a happy first birthday. She also shared additional wedding photos showing the cake‑cutting ceremony, fireworks during the first dance, and her father escorting her to the church. Media coverage highlighted the fashion focus of the event, noting that similar styling attention appeared at other Greek celebrity weddings, such as model Amalia Kostopoulou’s red maxi dress at a separate celebration on Ios.
