Russians usually marry on Fridays or Saturdays so you often see cars decorated with two wedding rings, flowers, etc driving around, honking their horns. If it wasn't for a cute reason, it would be obnoxious.
These cars aren't just driving around to spread the cheer and joy of two people coming together, no, they have things to do. It's almost like a scavenger hunt- they drive around from one place to another, taking photos at each spot, bringing along a whole party. Everyone sits back and watches the happy couple take photos, directing them where to stand, and sometimes enjoying a drink (not sure if I already said this, but people are allowed to drink in public).
Also, it is traditional to take photos at a WWII monument, yay happy memories!
They great part is, there are many wedding parties going around doing this, so you can easily see three wedding parties at the same moment.
More interesting facts!
Russians generally marry at a young age, like early twenties.
Short and often scandalous dresses are acceptable for weddings,
so think homecoming, junior year of highschool = wedding wear.
