NEARCHUS: Supermodel plans Russia’s wedding of the year [ 1042 ]

The Hellenic Navy (HN) (Greek: Πολεμικό Ναυτικό, Polemikó Naftikó, abbreviated ΠΝ) is the naval force of Greece, part of the Greek Armed Forces. The modern Greek navy has its roots in the naval forces of various Aegean Islands, which fought in the Greek War of Independence. During the periods of monarchy (1833–1924 and 1936–1973) it was known as the Royal Navy (Βασιλικόν Ναυτικόν, Vasilikón Naftikón, abbreviated ΒΝ).The total displacement of all the navy's vessels is approximately 150,000 tons.The motto of the Hellenic Navy is "Μέγα το της Θαλάσσης Κράτος" from Thucydides' account of Pericles' oration on the eve of the Peloponnesian War. This has been roughly translated as "Great is the country that controls the sea". The Hellenic Navy's emblem consists of an anchor in front of a crossed Christian cross and trident, with the cross symbolizing Greek Orthodoxy, and the trident symbolizing Poseidon, the god of the sea in Greek mythology. Pericles' words are written across the top of the emblem. "The navy, as it represents a necessary weapon for Greece, should only be created for war and aim to victory."...............The Hellenic Merchant Marine refers to the Merchant Marine of Greece, engaged in commerce and transportation of goods and services universally. It consists of the merchant vessels owned by Greek civilians, flying either the Greek flag or a flag of convenience. Greece is a maritime nation by tradition, as shipping is arguably the oldest form of occupation of the Greeks and a key element of Greek economic activity since the ancient times. Nowadays, Greece has the largest merchant fleet in the world, which is the second largest contributor to the national economy after tourism and forms the backbone of world shipping. The Greek fleet flies a variety of flags, however some Greek shipowners gradually return to Greece following the changes to the legislative framework governing their operations and the improvement of infrastructure.

Supermodel Naomi Campbell has picked her maid of honor for her upcoming wedding to Russian businessman Vladislav Doronin - and it looks as like Darya Zhukova, significant other of oligarch Roman Abramovich, will be in charge of Campbell's hen party.

Real estate magnate Doronin, 47, has reportedly invited 50 or so guests to a posh Middle Eastern restaurant in Moscow to celebrate the approaching nuptials - though a date has yet to be confirmed.

The Doronin-Campbell imminent wedding is said to be the most anticipated high society event of the year, RIA Novosti's Glamour section reported.

According to mutual friends, Naomi and Daria have been friends for a long time, and often spend time together in Moscow.

Celebrity gossip sites reported a month ago that Campbell is expecting a child with Doronin. The supermodel mum-to-be has apparently chosen a local clinic but will bring a doctor from abroad to supervise the birth.

The baby will be Naomi's first child, while Doronin has a 13-year-old daughter from his previous marriage.

That prior commitment scuppered plans for the couple to wed last June - Doronin's official divorce did not come through in time and the ceremony had to be postponed until he was a free agent again.
