Alexis Gagarine hosts a Russian Easter Table for guests. Geome of cheese and kulich share the feast alongside two large cheese mounds marked X-B meaning Christ is Risen. Kulich loaves and other foods fill a greened dining room while other burials are arranged elsewhere.
Eleane Alexis Gogavine is shown with the priest, the Rayer and Arkady Moiseyev of St. Nicholas Russian Orthodox Church in Washington DC during a service before the crowns are held overhead. The priest wore one crown during the betrothal, but tradition calls for placing crowns on a table before the alter for use in the ceremony.
Eleana Alexis Gagarine and Dr. William Goodrich Shipman wed at St. Mark's Episcopal Church in Lappans, integrating ancient Russian Orthodox rites. The bride, daughter of Colonel Alexis Gagarine, and the groom, son of John Arthur Shipman, exchanged gold crowns and rings in a one hour ceremony led by Father Arkady Moiseyeve, with a choir from St. Nicholas in Washington, D.C. The reception followed at the bride's family's home with a Russian Easter table and toasts as guests praised the union. The couple plan to reside in Lancaster, Pennsylvania after the wedding and Shipman begins general dentistry practice.
