The National Centre RUSSIA welcomes those in love: 100 couples have already registered for the All-Russian Wedding Festival
06.03

The first 100 couples have registered for the II All-Russian Wedding Festival "Russia. Uniting Hearts." This large-scale event will take place from July 8 to 10 at the National Centre RUSSIA, bringing together future newlyweds from across the country. The programme includes wedding ceremonies, expert lectures, fashion shows, and workshops by leading figures in the wedding industry.

One of the highlights of the programme will be the wedding ceremonies of couples from all over Russia. The largest number of participants will come from the Amur, Vologda, Kemerovo, Ryazan, Smolensk, and Kherson regions, as well as from the Republics of Altai and Udmurtia, and from Moscow.

Ruslan Nistarov and Kira Baranova are travelling to Moscow from Voronezh. Their love story reads like a detective novel. Products kept disappearing for several days from the shop where Kira worked — and it was Ruslan who helped catch the thief. After that, the brave young man asked Kira out on a date, and before long they were in a relationship. Six months after they met, Ruslan proposed in one of the most beautiful restaurants in Voronezh. Kira’s answer was "Yes!".

Equally romantic is the story of Artyom Zulkarnayev and Yelizaveta Rudycheva from Kaluga. The future bride and groom met at a christening: Artyom was the godfather and Yelizaveta the godmother. Liza says that on the day they met, it felt like they were born again — not for themselves, but for each other. Glances, smiles, a touch of nervousness — something clicked inside. At first, Artyom and Liza simply talked, easily and naturally, as if they had known each other forever. But within a month, they became a couple. Three eventful years have passed since then, and now Artyom and Liza are on the threshold of a new chapter — marriage.

A new chapter also awaits Sergei Khavkin and Tatyana Kalyuzhnaya from Kursk. Sergei and Tatyana met in February 2024 through a dating app. After a brief exchange of messages, they agreed to go to the cinema. But knowing that Tatyana was passionate about painting, Sergei invited her to a special place before the film — the A.A. Deineka Picture Gallery, where an exposition of Malevich’s works was on display. Tatyana was charmed. The two had a wonderful time together, and in the evening they shared their long-awaited first kiss. Since then, the couple has been inseparable, constantly discovering new things about each other. They are certain their meeting was no coincidence but destiny.

The Wedding Festival "Russia. Uniting Hearts" will continue until July 10. Themed days will highlight the cultural features and traditions of the northern, southern, eastern, and western parts of Russia. The festival programme will also include workshops, expositions, lectures, and public talks. Throughout its duration, the festival will showcase the rich culture of Russia through the wedding traditions of its peoples. The celebration will conclude with a grand gala concert.

Photos and applications from candidates wishing to take part in the wedding ceremony can be submitted via the website of the National Centre RUSSIA, on Gosuslugi, or by email (zags@mos.ru) to the Moscow Civil Registry Office. Couples will be selected on a competitive basis by the Moscow Civil Registry Office and the National Centre RUSSIA.

The first All-Russian Wedding Festival took place in 2024 as part of the International RUSSIA EXPO. On the opening day of the event, more than 300 people registered their marriage. This achievement was entered into the Russian Book of Records. Over the entire period of the RUSSIA EXPO, 564 people were married — a historic milestone remembered by 282 families for life. Some families formed at the first All-Russian Wedding Festival have already welcomed children.
