Awesome wedding clip!tag:forum.russianlearn.com,2012:/viewthread/.2252012-02-19T01:48:16Z2012-02-19T01:55:59Z*Svetik*
Hi, I found this video on YouTube and couldn’t help sharing it with you. It’s a really funny and cool wedding video clip made in a Ukrainian city called Sevastopol - but everybody speaks Russian there.
