The bride wore fatigues. The wedding party carried rifles and RPGs.

KYIV, UKRAINE — The groom wore a helmet. The bride wore fatigues.

So did the priest and the wedding party with comrades in the Ukrainian defense forces who lined up for the marital procession carrying shoulder-fired rocket-propelled grenades and antitank missiles.

Others guests included Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko, who wore a bulletproof vest and took a selfie with the bride, and a throng of journalists invited to watch the spectacle of a wedding next to a checkpoint in the midst of Russia’s war on Ukraine.
