New family of power engineers born at the RUSSIA EXPO
The employees of the En+ energy holding got married at the RUSSIA EXPO. Evgeny Rozhentsev and Alina Parkhomenko, employees of CHPP-11 in Usolie-Sibirskoye, Irkutsk region, joined their hearts in love in front of the whole of Russia.
The professions of the newlyweds are inextricably linked with the energy industry. The groom is a boiler equipment operator-lineman and the bride is an electrician of the main control panel. In addition to working at CHPP-11, which is part of the En+ energy holding, the girl teaches electrical engineering at a branch of the Irkutsk National Research Technical University. Thanks to the daily diligent work of Evgeny, Alina and their colleagues, the homes of almost 75 thousand city residents are always bright, warm and cozy. The future spouses met in the service bus, which was taking them after the night shift.
Young power engineers introduced the audience to traditional Baikal wedding customs, including the ritual of worshiping the family hearth, which symbolizes a strong and fertile union of the bride and groom. The relatives of the newlyweds handed over the symbolic "family hearth" to the newlyweds - a diode candle lit up brightly in their hands.
In addition, Alina and Evgeny "measured" the energy of their love and with its help lit a symbolic "energy heart" - a special construction installed on the stage. The "energetic" wedding ceremony ended with a show performance of light drummers.
The newlyweds were warmly congratulated by Olga Berseneva, Director of the Public Relations Department of En+ in the Irkutsk region, and other honored guests. "Please accept congratulations from our entire 90,000-strong team from many different cities. Create your unique, magical, fairytale story, and let the energy of your hearts, which on this day has traveled a distance of 5 thousand kilometers, only multiply and know no boundaries. And may your family hearth be always filled with warmth and light," said Olga Berseneva.
Any resident of the country could congratulate the new family. To do this, you had to follow a special link on the Internet and leave your wishes there. All of them were collected in one big joint congratulatory message and read out during the wedding ceremony.
Project Manager of the ANO «Directorate of the Exhibition of Achievements "Russia"» Yulia Stoyanova joined in the congratulations: "I wish you warmth and comfort in your home, joyful children's laughter, and for the energy of your love to grow and warm up not only you, but also your entire hopefully large future family. The year 2024 has been declared the Year of the Family in Russia, and on January 23, our President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin made a speech and opened the Year of the Family at the RUSSIA EXPO. And on the Main Street Stage there was a solemn highlight of the day - the lighting of the family hearth, which went to all regions of Russia. We hope that today you too will take a part of this family flame to your homes".
The young Rozhentsev family started the tradition of handing over the symbolic family hearth to young married couples from all over Russia who got married at the RUSSIA EXPO. The icon-lamp with the "family hearth" was solemnly handed over to the couple in love in the building of the Palace of Marriage at VDNH.
"We will put this lamp in our home, allocate a special shelf for it, and it will always bring us joy and warm us in difficult moments, - Alina said. - It's just a miracle that we got married here at the Exposition, it was very exciting, thank you for such a wonderful gift," added her newly married husband Evgeny.
The integration of special military operation veterans into peaceful life and the interaction between regions and municipalities were discussed as part of the Forum "SMALL HOMELAND – THE STRENGTH OF RUSSIA".
The second All-Russian Municipal Forum "Small Homeland – the Strength of Russia" is taking place at the National Centre RUSSIA.
