Married only after ascension: Nicholas II (thus his wife never was Grand Duchess of Russia)

  • Before Nicholas married Alexandra, she had to take up the Orthodox faith, and she became 'The Truly Believing Grand Duchess Alexandra Feodorovna' so for a time before the ceremony actually took place, she was a grand duchess, but I don't know if that goes with 'GD by marriage' but she was a GD of Russia for a couple days.
