Today a real thunderstorm broke out on the street: downpour, wind. But couples hurried to the theater of folklore "Razgulyay". They walked arm in arm, touchingly embracing. Here it is - loyalty, which does not care about any thunderstorms!
Experienced lovers came to the holiday - "Marathon of family traditions". This year the celebration is timed to coincide with the 10th anniversary of the celebration of the Day of Family, Love and Fidelity. The city administration invited 16 couples of Vladimir residents who have been married for more than 25 years. But not only the heroes of the day gathered in the hall, but also their families and friends. Some came with very tiny grandchildren - the future successors of the family are just a sight for sore eyes, let everyone know!
The head of the city of Vladimir Olga Deeva also addressed the audience with a welcoming speech. The words of sincere gratitude and respect were conveyed to the guests of the holiday by the head of the administration Andrey Shokhin. The deputy head, Oksana Erashova, who was present at the celebration, wished all the spouses further family happiness. It is difficult to think of something that would be more valuable than the love that spouses already have, but the recognition by society of this great treasure that they keep in their families is a testament to solidarity and support. And now a series of truly happy people reached the stage - couples began to rise one by one. All of them were awarded the medal "For Love and Fidelity", established by the organizing committee for the Day of Family, Love and Faithfulness in the Russian Federation. Fyodor Lavrov, Chairman of the City Public Chamber, also congratulated the now famous residents of Vladimir.
Artists of the Razgulyay folklore theater prepared famous songs for their dear guests. In between their performances, the musicians now and then, with a smile, were quietly surprised at what was happening. Still, the oldest spouses who came to the holiday today have been married for over 60 years.
The Smirnovs have been together for 55 years. We met at a dance. He, a gallant soldier, immediately noticed the most beautiful girl in the hall. All their lives they traveled to military garrisons, but this only strengthened love and respect - together you can endure everything. Olga Smirnova, slightly embarrassed, admits that she also immediately noticed the future groom. Most of all, a young girl 55 years ago was struck in the soldier Rudolf Smirnov by pitch-black curly hair. This is what she is, love of half a century of endurance.
The story of the acquaintance of the Nikolaev spouses is surprising - Natalya Vasilievna and Boris Petrovich spoke for the first time in trolleybus 3. The young man was driving from the institute. When asked who noticed whom, Natalya Nikolaevna almost childishly coquettishly replies - “Of course he is me. Then the men noticed! " and smiles slyly. So 55 years passed.
The Nazarovs met in distant Khabarovsk. Nikolai Vladimirovich, a stately military man, could not help but pay attention to the beautiful artist who came to their ensemble. And now for 47 years they have been walking hand in hand.
The holiday ended in a family way - with tea. And everyone who attended it marveled - the impression was created that everyone here is a dear person to each other, there are no strangers, and everything around is filled with love and anxious care for each other.
