On May 16, 13 couples from the regions of the Volga Federal District got married at the Exposition. The ceremony became a part of the All-Russian Wedding Festival.

On the fifth day of the festival, one couple each from the Perm, Nizhny Novgorod, Orenburg, Penza, Samara and Saratov regions, Bashkortostan, Mari El, Mordovia, Tatarstan and Chuvashia, as well as two couples from the Kirov region tied the knot.

The newlyweds took part in the festive procession from the Arch of the Main Entrance to the Main Street Stage together with regional creative groups. The newlyweds were handed over the flame of the All-Russian Family Hearth "Heart of Russia", which was lit at the Exposition during the opening ceremony of the Year of the Family with the participation of Russian President Vladimir Putin on January 23.

Daniyar and Aigul from Tatarstan were among those who got married at the Exposition.

"May is the month we met. We also decided to get married in May. Today's ceremony was very great, very cool, I can't even find words to convey my delight! The procession was great too - folk music, songs, dancing! Thank you for the opportunity to get married at the Exposition," said Aigul.

The Kirov region was represented at the ceremony by two couples - Yegor and Christina, and Pavel and Anastasia.

"The feelings from the festival are uplifting. It is very interesting and fun. We are grateful for the opportunity to formalize our relationship here," Pavel shared his impressions.

Christina admitted that she was a little nervous on stage.

"We had certain jitters on stage - at least I did. Now that everything has calmed down, everything is fine. Now we can call each other husband and wife!" Christina said.

According to Yegor, he is still to get used to the new status.

"We do not yet seem to have fully realized what is happening, have not felt all the changes. Everything is in flux, everything is fast, very dynamic. We haven't gotten used to the new status yet!" Yegor admitted.

After the wedding ceremony, creative groups from the Volga Federal District regions - from the Penza, Orenburg and Saratov regions, as well as Tatarstan, Bashkortostan, Mari El, Perm region, Mordovia, Chuvashia, Samara and Orenburg regions - performed on stage.
