The newlyweds were handed the flame of the All-Russian Family Hearth “Heart of Russia”, which was lit at the Exposition during the ceremony of launching the Year of the Family with the participation of Russian President Vladimir Putin on January 23.

The union of Dmitry and Antonina from the Tyumen region, who married at the Exposition, is unusual: they were both born on the same day.
