Wedding festival flashmob at the National Centre RUSSIA brings couples from across the country together
Couples
from across Russia are actively taking part in a large-scale flashmob ahead of
the II All-Russian Wedding Festival "Russia. Uniting Hearts," which
will take place at the National Centre RUSSIA from July 8 to 10.
Soon-to-be
newlyweds are recording heartfelt video messages in which they introduce their
hometowns and pass on a greeting relay to the next couple. Virtual greetings
have already been shared from Novokuznetsk, Kirov, Rostov-on-Don, and dozens of
other cities across the country.
"We’re
getting married on July 8 at the wedding festival at the National Centre
RUSSIA! Hooray!" the couples say joyfully.
The flashmob organised by the National Centre
RUSSIA not only unites the participants of the "Russia. Uniting
Hearts" wedding festival — it symbolises that love knows no distance or
boundaries.
The II
All-Russian Wedding Festival "Russia. Uniting Hearts" will be
dedicated to the Day of Family, Love, and Fidelity. This year, over 200 couples
from different regions of the country will tie the knot simultaneously at the
National Centre RUSSIA. One of the highlights of the ceremonies will be the
traditional wedding attire, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of Russia’s
peoples.
Guests of
the festival can look forward to a vibrant programme: a colourful wedding
procession, fashion shows, regional cuisine tastings, lectures and public
talks, where experts will speak about how age-old wedding traditions are
preserved.
According to Yevgeny Zharinov, Russia is more than territory.
Instead of a standard lecture, the organisers have prepared interactive tasks for guests.
In the lead-up to this major event, we look back at five traditional blessings given to newlyweds for a happy life together under the protection of their ancestors.
