The cathedral was closed for the visitors during the ceremony. Before the religious ceremony, strong security measures were taken. The closing of the cathedral caused controversies on a social network.

The wedding party took place in Kojori (a small town near Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia) at the Bioli Hall restaurant. The Georgian dancing ensemble "Erisioni" performed at the restaurant.
