Dressed in military fatigues, the couple are filled with joy as they exchange their vows.
A couple of civil defense volunteers, Lesya and Valeri, were married at a military checkpoint near Kyiv.
The pair were battle-ready as they shared their vows. Despite the location, the beautiful Ukrainian tradition of holding a crown above the bride's head was upheld, although the headpiece was swapped out for a helmet. There was a palpable joy for the couple from all those gathered, including the mayor of Kyiv (also a former world champion boxer), Vitaliy Klitschko, who was at the ceremony and first to wish congratulations to the newlyweds as reported by the BBC.
