Nini & Ifet
Wedding Party
Ani Khvedelidze
Maid of Honor
Meet Ani, Ani and Nini have been best friends since they first met in Georgia at just four years old. Though they’ve lived far apart for most of their lives, distance has never gotten in the way of their friendship. Every time Nini visits Georgia, it’s as if no time has passed — the two become instantly inseparable. From wandering the streets of Rustavi, to meeting up in their parents’ village, to going on unforgettable vacations together, Ani and Nini have shared a bond that runs deeper than geography. Their connection is effortless, lasting, and full of laughter — the kind of friendship that feels more like family. And maybe that’s no surprise… after all, their grandparents are twins!
Edin Mrkalj
Best Man
Edin, or Edo as we all call him, is Ifet's younger brother, best friend, his opposition all in one. Edo is Ifet's support system they do everything together while also making everything a competition (a little healthy competition never hurt...right?). Edo always finds a way to make things more fun (and sometimes more chaotic). Whether they are fishing or getting into (mostly) harmless trouble, there’s never a dull moment with him around. Everything aside Edo is always there for his big brother and the same goes vice versa no matter the occasion one phone call is all they need and they are right next to the other to support them. Ifet's proud to be his big brother — even though he steals his snacks or tells embarrassing stories about Ifet. You’ll see what we mean when you meet him.
Tatia Chitashvili
Bridesmaid
Meet Tatia, Tatia is Nini's younger cousin. They've been close for as long as Nini can remember. There’s always been a strong bond between them — one built on shared memories, honest talks, and plenty of laughter along the way. Watching Tatia grow up has been such a privilege. She has become someone Nini admires not just as family, but as a person. Tatia has a great mix of heart, humor, and curiosity. Whether they're just hanging out or having one of our deeper conversations, Nini always walks away appreciating the time we spend together. It’s not every day you get to call your cousin one of your favorite people — but Nini does, and she considers herself lucky for it.
Ado Mrkalj
Groomsman
Ado is Ifet's (not so little) little brother. Ado is 14 years old, which means he's officially a teenager which is impossible to believe for the groom. Ifet still calls Ado his "baby" brother with their 10 year age gap Ado has always been Ifets "beba" and Ifet has been noticing that he is growing up too fast recently. Watching Ado grow up has been awesome. We are so excited to have Ado be a big part of our day.
Mariam Okruashvili
Bridesmaid
Meet Mari, Mari is Nini's older cousin. Growing up, Mari was like the cool older sister Nini never had. Whether it was giving Nini advice, making her laugh, or just letting her tag along when she was probably too young to be included, Mari always made Nini feel like she mattered. Mari has this way of making things fun, even when they’re ordinary. And when life got confusing or tough, Mari was the one Nini knew she could turn to — no judgment, just real support. Even though we’re cousins, the bond we share feels more like they're sisters — someone Nini looks up to and trusts completely. Nini considers herself lucky to have Mari in her life, and even luckier to call Mari family.
Amin Ramljak
Groomsman
Meet Amin, Amin is Ifets cousin. Well, technically they're cousins. But in reality, he’s like the brother Ifet's parents didn’t sign up for. they've been through it all: childhood chaos, questionable fashion choices, and a long list of “brilliant” ideas that usually had "gentle parenting" become questionable. Amin is the guy who knows all Ifets secrets, all his worst moments, and somehow still agreed to stand by him on his big day. That’s either true loyalty or just a really good sense of humor. Or both. Whether they were teaming up in life or just teaming up to annoy their siblings, he’s always had Ifets back — and probably a sarcastic comment ready, too. Ifet feels beyond lucky to have him here for his wedding, and even luckier to call him family. Thanks for being the cousin who’s basically a lifelong partner-in-crime — just with fewer(?) court cases.
Mally Okruashvili
Bridesmaid
I’d love to introduce you to someone who’s more than just family — Nini's cousin, Mally. Nini and Mally grew up together like sisters. From family holidays to summer breaks in Georgia, they've been through just about everything side by side — laughter, inside jokes, and all the random adventures in between. Mally knows way too many embarrassing stories about Nini, but she trusts Mally with every one of them. Growing up with Mally shaped a lot of who Nini is. They've always had each other’s backs, even when life took them in different directions. That bond hasn’t gone anywhere — it’s just grown stronger with time.
Dzenan Hodzic
Groomsman
Meet Dzenan, Dzenan is someone who’s been putting up with Ifet long before his fiancée decided she could. They’ve known each other for years, and somehow, Dzenan still answers Ifets calls. That’s loyalty… or questionable judgment. Either way, they’ve been through it all: bad haircuts, worse decisions, and the kind of inside jokes that make people concerned for our sanity. Dzenan is the kind of friend who will show up for you at 3 a.m. — but will definitely remind you about it every chance he gets. Whether it’s advice, sarcasm, or just brutal honesty, Ifet knows he can always count on Dzenan to say exactly what he needs to hear (and sometimes what he really doesn't). Having Dzenan standing with Ifet on his wedding day means more than he can say — mostly because Dzenan would never let Ifet live down getting too emotional. Thanks for being the best kind of chaos, Dzenan.
Nino Kordzaia
Bridesmaid
Meet Nino, Nino is Nini's sister-in-law. From the moment she came into Nini's life, it felt like she belonged. She’s the kind of person who brings warmth into every room, and over time, she’s gone from being “my brother’s wife” to someone Nini truly considers her sister. She’s been there for her in ways Nini never expected — with advice, encouragement, and the kind of support that only someone who truly cares can give. Nini admires her strength, her kindness, and her ability to keep our family connected, even when life gets busy. Nini is so grateful for the bond they’ve built, and Nini honestly can’t imagine their family — or her life — without Nino in it.
Jasminko Dizdarevic
Groomsman
Meet Jasko, Jasko is someone who started out as someone who Ifet was defending in a game — and quickly became one of his closest friends. They met through soccer, bonding over tough matches and way too many post-game debates about who really played better (spoiler: it was always him — according to him). But what started on the field turned into something much more. Between the games, they found time to hang out, joke around, and build a friendship that goes way beyond the sport. Whether they’re kicking a ball around, grabbing food, or just talking about life, Jasko is the kind of friend who’s always down for a good time and always has your back — on and off the field. Ifet thinks he is lucky the game brought them together, but even luckier that they stayed connected long after the final whistle.
Emir Heto
Groomsman
Meet Emir, Emir is like family to Ifet. The kind of family that borrows your stuff without asking, roasts you constantly, and somehow still gets invited everywhere. He’s always around, always talking, and somehow always has energy — even when no one asked for it. But in all seriousness, Emir is one of the most loyal, down-for-anything people we know. He might drive Ifet crazy half the time, but he’s also someone he can count on no matter what. Behind the endless jokes, sarcasm, and general chaos, he’s got a huge heart — not that Ifet would ever say that to his face. So yeah, he’s annoying. But he’s also Ifets brother — whether he likes it or not.
