The wedding of Antonis Liveris and Amelia MacKinnon was a typical traditional Greek, with the entire island of Kastellorizo as guests.
Kastellorizo is the birthplace of the powerful family in Australia, whose history began on the island in 1910.
The religious ceremony, took place on Saturday, June 17, in the outdoor courtyard of the Church of Agios Georgios tou Pigadiou, just before sunrise.
The couple wanted their friends – invited from all over the world – to witness the unique colours in the picturesque harbour.
The ceremony was officiated by two priests, Father Georgios Maltazos and another priest from Australia according to both Orthodox and Catholic procedure (as the bride is Catholic).
Antonis Liveris dressed the groom with the help of relatives and friends at his family estate, following all the customs, and arrived at the church on foot accompanied by traditional musicians.
The bride did the same.
After the wedding, a party was held with guests from all over the world, away from the flashlights and under strict security measures, not at the Liveris family estate on the island but at the Bietros estate in the Mandraki area, whose owner has familial ties to the Liveris family.
Near the couple, the groom’s father, Andreas Liveris, and his wife Paola, never stopped smiling and expressing their happiness for their son’s choice to get married in Kastellorizo, the island of their roots.
The family had prepared many surprises for their guests, such as countless trays of dishes that were smashed at the welcoming party held on Friday night at the “Megisti” hotel.
On Sunday morning, the third day of the wedding celebrations, the couple met with their friends on a beach on the island, enjoying cocktails and boat rides.
