The wedding ring represents the trust that the couple have for each other. This ring binds them together to that trust.
A circle of trust, a ring represents that the trust should be never ending. As the love that a couple has for each other, never ending.
Ideally, the ring should represent a lifetime trust, love or commitment to each other.

Wedding Band or Ring
The Candles
The two small candle represents the couple as individuals. The big candle in the middle when lighted by the couple represents as "Unity Candle."
A two person gets united and became ONE.
Unity Candle
The lighting of unity candle. Lighting the one big candle from their candle.
This symbolizes of the couple from being two person to unite and be ONE by lighting the one big candle from their own candle.
It means that, now they are not two person but one person. As a couple get married they become ONE.
Eating of Bread with Salt
One of the Ukrainian traditions in wedding, the newly wed will eat this Ukrainian traditional bread with salt.
Here the newly wed are looking on the traditional bread with salt on top (on a green leaf). They get a small piece of the bread, dip it on the salt and eat it.
The bread and salt symbolizes (as their tradition) that the newly wed will always have bread and salt for their food on the table.
Throwing of Confetti
Throwing of confetti, candies, coins (whatever they use as confetti). It does hurt though when hit by those candies or coins! Wish people will just use petals of flowers as confetti, that way it's not painful!
Ukrainian Pickled Veggies
Ukrainian is good and love to make pickled veggies. This is one of the many vegetables that they pickled. They are tasty and really good. I like their pickled vegetables.
This one are pickled tomatoes, mushrooms (two kinds) and young cucumber.
Ukrainian Dish
This is another Ukrainian dish (fish). It's fish that was rolled on flour (i think) and fried. I did try it, it's tasty.

Another Ukrainian dish (fish). Ukrainian loves fish and some of them are tasty and good. This one though I didn't try.
Curious Toddler
Diana, found this pine tree and went to investigate. She is fascinated with the bark of this tree. She actually tried to peel them off with her little hands:)
Summer Time
Every summer this place is packed with people. The river is cool and cleaner. People swim the whole day until they are burned from the sun.
Donetsk River
This river is nicer and cleaner than the others that I've seen so far in Donetsk, I guess that's why there are lots of people in this place during summer.
Pine Trees
The other side of the river where we had the picnic last summer is full of Pine Trees...we supposed to have the picnic on that side but we didn't find the road.
