Nice to see the golden and silver anniversary couples honored like that. Father Andrei always has good words for families. Our own 40th is coming up next year — maybe we’ll make it to one of these events too.

How nice to see gold and silver wedding couples recognized like this. Father Andrei always finds the right words for families. I wish in Valencia we would do something similar to encourage long marriages.

Our parish could learn from this. Honoring the gold and silver couples alongside the young ones and the big families sends a strong message. Father Andrei’s words always seem to land right — wonder if we’ll do something like that here next summer.

It’s good that large families and newlyweds are celebrated together with their golden and silver anniversaries. Father Andrey will always find something relevant to say. We also have such evenings in Voronezh, but in Dolgoprudny, it seems, the scale is larger.

It's good that they also gathered together the 50-year-old couples, and those with many children, and the newlyweds. Father Andrei always knows how to say something practical. Here in Constanța, we don't really do something like this on a large scale, but it would be nice.

Here in Samara, too, last year, on Family Day, honorees were awarded, but families with many children and families of SVO participants were not separately gathered together with the newlyweds. It’s interesting how Father Andrei connected it all in one parting word. The scale in Dolgoprudny is really impressive.

I agree, it’s good when generations are close together - from newlyweds to those who have been together for 50 years. Father Andrei really always has a word to the point, without unnecessary fluff. Do you often have such evenings in Voronezh or only on major holidays?
