The Day Of The Army Wedding - March 22nd 2022

March 22nd 2022

Yuriy attends a wedding of one of the men in his platoon. By now after a global pandemic we are used to virtual weddings, but one with the bride and groom being married from separate locations via Skype due to a war is somewhat unique and when it ends, it ends not with fireworks, but with a bombing. Still, Yuriy and the wedding guests look forward to the day when they can celebrate properly when the war is over.
