By decision of the President, a Special Military Operation fighter came to the All-Russian Wedding Festival at the National Centre RUSSIA to attend his sister’s wedding

A touching story happened on the first day of the 2nd All-Russian Wedding Festival "Russia. Uniting Hearts." Diana Donova  from the Krasnoyarsk Territory had the biggest dream that came true on the day of her wedding ceremony at the National Centre RUSSIA. On that day, next to her stood her brother, a senior rifleman of the motorized rifle troops who has been serving in the Special Military Operation Zone. Having learned about the upcoming ceremony, Russian President Vladimir Putin decided to give the fighter a short-term vacation specifically for this important family event.

Sergey Kiriyenko, First Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration of the Russian Federation, told the audience that the order of the country's Supreme Commander-in-Chief was executed. He added that Head of state had let the fighter go on vacation so that he could bless and congratulate the young couple in person.

For Diana and her husband, presence of a dear brother on such an important day was an invaluable gift, and for all the guests of the festival it was a reminder of true values.

The 2nd All-Russian Wedding Festival "Russia. Uniting Hearts", which takes place on July 8-10 at the National Centre RUSSIA, brought together more than 200 couples from all over the country. Each of these couples has been writing their own unique story of love and family happiness. An eventful three-day program awaits participants and guests. There will be themed public talks about family relationships and wedding traditions, gastronomic shows with tastings of wedding cuisine traditional for the peoples of the country, workshops on creating traditional family charms, concerts by pop artists, an exposition of wedding costumes, and much more.

Admission to the festival is free of charge upon prior registration on the website russia.ru.
