to be on such a large scale," said Nikita Khamadiev.
"We
are happy to be the first at this venue - no one has ever had a wedding like
ours. We are very pleased that we had such an opportunity,"

changes in your life with great enthusiasm and positive attitude and face
difficulties with ease. You are ready to overcome them together - this is very
important in family life. I wish you to carry the warmth with which you look at
each other, through the years," said Yulia Stoyanova, Project Manager of
the ANO «Directorate of the Exhibition of Achievements "Russia"» to
