Love is a great adventure, and one of its most prominent landmarks is the wedding day. If you are about to get married, you may consider doing it in Russia.

Sports and politics do not have much in common, but the political rivalry between countries is often taken to sport events. But when that happens, we do enjoy a fair, challenging competition.
