Romania in royal wedding fever: grandson of late king to wed

BUCHAREST, Romania — Royal wedding fever is catching on in Romania. Though not for that royal wedding.

Nicholas Medforth-Mills, the only grandson of the late King Michael, confirmed Tuesday in an interview with Digi 24 TV he would marry aviation public relations consultant Alina-Maria Binder after dating for more than two years.

The couple revealed that Medforth-Mills proposed to Binder on a weekend break to Cornwall in southwest England. He wrote “I love you. Marry me” in the sand. He later gave her a diamond and sapphire engagement ring.

The wedding will take place on Sept. 30 in an Orthodox church in Sinaia, the town where Michael was born.
