In a traditional Russian wedding, special symbolism was present not only in the bride's dress. The groom's costume was also a kind of message, encrypted in thread patterns and accessories.
The peoples of the Volga Region and Russia's steppe regions viewed marriage as a union not only between two people but also between two families.
The open dialogue "Forms of Love: Literature and Art" formed part of the educational programme of the III All-Russian Wedding Festival "Russia. Uniting Hearts".
