A couple got married in a bomb shelter in their hometown of Kharkiv.

Maria Avdeeva, a wedding guest and friend of the couple, wrote a post about how the couple had been running a makeshift pharmacy since the war started.

The bride and groom posed for photos in the ruins of their hometown before walking to an underground metro station for their wedding. The metro station is being used as a bomb shelter.

The second-largest city in the country is Kharkiv, with over one million residents. Russian forces attacked it on February 27 and have left it in ruins ever since.

Avdeeva writes that the metro station is the safest place in town and that the ceremony was attended by people who resided at the station.

Avdeeva said that Grachova wore a white wedding dress, a veil with a flower crown, a leather jacket, and a pair of knee-high Dr. Martens boots as a wedding present. The man wore black boots and Levi's.

Avdeeva said that the bridal party was made up of volunteers from the humanitarian center where they work.

Avdeeva posted video from the day. The video shows the couple taking photos and dancing on the street before the ceremony, as well as footage from the ceremony.

A wedding in a city under constant shelling can be like this: a photo zone against the background of a destroyed historical building and a ceremony in the subway.

Avdeeva wrote that the bride and groom have no plans to go on a honeymoon.

There is a war to win and brutal days ahead before they can go somewhere with a beach and palm trees. There was hope, and beauty, and love inside the ugly.

Avdeeva did not reply immediately.
