Princess Maria Immaculata of Liechtenstein married Zurab Dzidziguri at St Peter's Church in Vienna on 31 October 2026. The couple's five-year romance was kept secret until the wedding day.

Why it matters

The wedding reflects the dynastic consent process of the Princely House of Liechtenstein, under which the engagement was not made public in advance. It also brings together a Liechtenstein royal and a Georgian groom with ties to Tbilisi.

The Peacock tiara, created in 1926 and originally belonging to the princely House of Thurn und Taxis, was worn by the bride. The ceremony followed the Christian Orthodox rite.

The players

Princess Maria Immaculata of Liechtenstein

A member of the Princely House of Liechtenstein who works in Tbilisi, Georgia, for the consultancy group PMCG and founded Serene Caucasus Travels.

Zurab Dzidziguri

A Georgian innovation project manager who married into the Liechtenstein royal family.

Prince Hans-Adam II of Liechtenstein

The reigning prince of Liechtenstein who gave formal consent to the marriage under the dynastic laws of the House of Liechtenstein.

The details

The bride wore an off-the-shoulder, lace-trimmed gown and the Peacock tiara. The groom wore the chokha, a traditional Georgian costume, and the groom met with reigning Prince Hans-Adam II, who gave formal consent.

Timeline

  1. The couple's romance began about five years before the wedding, around 2021, when they met in Tbilisi.

  2. The bride first visited Georgia in 2021.

  3. The wedding took place on 31 October 2026 at St Peter's Church in Vienna.

Royal Tradition

The marriage was approved by reigning Prince Hans-Adam II under the House of Liechtenstein's dynastic laws, which kept the engagement out of public view. The ceremony pairs that tradition with a Georgian Orthodox rite and a Georgian groom's chokha.

Couples marrying across borders may face consent or documentation rules tied to family, dynasty, or nationality, so early planning matters. Choosing a ceremony rite in advance, such as Orthodox or Catholic, can shape venue and officiant options.

The takeaway

Royal and cross-border weddings often balance private personal relationships with public traditions and legal consent. For couples planning their own, documenting consent and ceremony requirements early can prevent last-minute complications.
