Horrific images have plagued Ukraine since the Russian invasion, but some moments were emotional. A similar picture came from Kiev, the capital of Ukraine. A couple was tied the knot in Kiev while Russian fighter jets dropped bombs and missiles.
The video of the wedding came to
light. CNN has released a video of the marriage. In this video, according to the wedding tradition, while the church bell is ringing on one side, the sound of sirens to warn against airstrikes is also clearly heard on the other side.
The sound of the siren at the wedding was horrifying
, Arieva told CNN. This wasn’t very good. Arieva is a deputy on Kiev City Council. She said, this was the happiest moment of my life. At such a time, you go out, and you hear this siren.
Arieva and Sviatoslav wanted to have their wedding in a joyful atmosphere, but they had to get married in the middle of a fight.
The first visit between 21-year-old Arieva and 24-year-old Sviatoslav, who got married in the midst of a fight during a protest, took place amidst such a chaotic atmosphere.
The two first met in October 2019 during a rally in the center area of Kiev. Sviatoslav is a software engineer by profession. When asked why they decided to get married in this warlike atmosphere, the couple said, “Because we have no idea what our future will be.”
The loved couple announced their marriage date
on May 6 last year. They celebrated this in a beautiful restaurant on the river Daniper. “It was beautiful,” Arieva recalls of the moment after the wedding. There was only us, there was the river and the captivating lights.
Everything has changed since Putin started the war
Arieva said. We also planned to have the wedding in a beautiful atmosphere, but Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the start of the war against Ukraine on Thursday morning and everything changed.
” First we will fight for the country, then we will celebrate the marriage,” She said. “The situation is very bad.” We are going to fight for our country. Maybe we could even die.
This is why we want to be together before anything like this happens. Arieva and Sviatoslav arrived at the local territorial defense center shortly after their wedding on Thursday, where they joined in the ongoing efforts to save their country.
“We need to protect those we love and the land we live on,” Arieva said. I hope everything goes smoothly, but I can do everything to protect my country.
