MOSCOW. April 17 (Interfax) - Russian Railways (RTS: RZHD) is entering the wedding services market, offering couples the chance to combine their wedding, reception, wedding night and honeymoon.

I've read about it, and without details too. If it's true, I don't like it at all. Non-Orthodox, and non-Christian at all.

Positively though, at least they are getting married and not just co-habiting...

I doubt, whether for persons who want to marry in the train, the Church wedding will be of great importance.
I know that the Paschal services were celebrated at all Moscow stations, but it's quite another matter.
