On October 31, 2026, Princess Maria Immaculata of Liechtenstein and Georgian-born Zurab Dzidziguri married in an Orthodox ceremony at St. Peter’s Church (Peterskirche) in Vienna. Princess Maria Immaculata is the second daughter of Prince Gundakar of Liechtenstein and Princess Marie of Orléans. The groom is the brother of Princess Kristine de Bagration, the wife of Prince Juan Bagration of Georgia.
Princess Maria wore a white wedding gown with a long train and a turquoise and diamond peacock tiara, created in 1926 by the Kreuter jewellery house in Hanau for the Princely House of Thurn and Taxis. The groom wore a traditional Georgian chokha, accessorised with a dagger. A chokha is a woolen coat with a high neck.
Princess Maria met Georgian-born Zurab Dzidziguri during a visit to Tbilisi in 2021. The couple kept their relationship private for a long time. Before the wedding, Zurab Dzidziguri personally met with Prince Hans-Adam II of Liechtenstein to seek his approval to marry the princess. Princess Maria Immaculata and Zurab Dzidziguri also met with Shio III, Catholicos-Patriarch of Georgia, who gave his blessing to their union.
Gosh. The church photos look like they could have been taken many hundreds of years ago. With bullets big enough to down elephants and multiple swords, I find this uniform frightening. Does anyone have information to help me understand this choice?
