The gender balance of wedding guests in the Russian city of Nizhny Novgorod suggests that there is still a gap between those who want to meet and those who are looking for relationships in the post-Soviet city. But the fact that there are many single Russian brides for marriage in this city is a fact!
“It’s more difficult than in most cities, especially for girls. We have a tendency to group and stay with each other,” Nizhny Novgorod bride Anastasia Rudneva, a legal worker in private practice, told RBTH.
According to the bride, women in the city see their wedding as a reason to treat themselves and decide to buy nice clothes and accessories.
“Those who are unmarried or even have partners don’t mind spending money. They focus on enjoying themselves. And they will meet up with other people – they do have friends,” the woman said.
Peculiarities of marrying a woman from Nizhny Novgorod
Marriage is a great event for social networking. It is a chance to exchange an informal “two dots” on their ID cards, and in addition, it is a chance to meet new people and get to know them better. And it can be fun. It is also worth noting that in Nizhny Novgorod to get a bride is much easier than the Moscow bride for marriage, because they are less spoiled here.
Nizhny Novgorod bride Alexa, who works as a project coordinator at an art gallery, says that weddings can help you to make new friends.
The third factor that attracts singles to weddings in Russia is the fact that the majority of cities already have plenty of singles’ clubs that have low barriers to entry and provide a space to share thoughts and feelings and to make new friends.
“Every city has its own unique wedding theme. But weddings in general are good for making new contacts,” Nizhny Novgorod bride Alexandra says.
Of course, weddings can also be seen as a cultural event. Young singles are interested in learning about their cultures, discovering new friends and finding love, Nizhny Novgorod bride Berenika declares.
As the post-Soviet city, Nizhny Novgorod is a very modern place with great opportunities to find true love. The bride, an architect in her twenties, says that she was ready to move to the city a long time ago.
