Amalia of Oldenburg: A different marriage

Amalia of Oldenburg was the daughter of Grand Duke Paul of Oldenburg.
She married King Otto of Greece in 1836.
Suppose Amalia did not marry Otto of Greece.
Who shall Amalia marry?
 
Well, barring a POD at/bfore Amalia's birth, the marriage will still remain childless. Amalia suffered from Mullerian agnesis which prevented her having children.

That said, Otto might fare better. He originally made a play for a half-Russian princess - Sophie or Marie of Wurttemberg. However, King Wilhelm I refused, since he regarded the Greek throne as rather unstable. Sophie was later forced into a marriage she resented until she died, and Marie married both rather late and morganatically. So perhaps, something happens, and one of them ends up as Queen of Greece instead. A Greek-born heir for Othon might go a far way to cementing his relationship with the people. It might not butterfly his deposition entirely, but it can't hurt.
 
Domestic cousin marriages were rare. The only reason something like that might happen is because Amalia's father has no son of his own. That said, she was born without a uterus. Kinda hard for her to have kids. Her sister married some far removed cousin of George Washington though, so that could prove interesting.
 
The only chance she has to have a child is via an ectopic pregnancy and ceasarian which might most likely cause her to die in childbirth.
