Singer Rita Dakota tied the knot with music video director Fyodor Belogai, sharing the news through an Instagram post. The couple spoke about their milestone on the platform, which has faced scrutiny in Russia due to its ownership by Meta, a company that has been labeled extremist by authorities in that region.
Dakota posted a clip from a church ceremony, expressing gratitude to fans for their kind wishes. The celebration took place at an Orthodox church in Georgia, underscoring the couple’s preference for a spiritual setting to mark their union.
In August, Dakota revealed plans for three weddings with Belogai. She explained that the multi-ceremony idea is meant to honor their parents, their daughter, and close friends who wish to witness a beautiful rite of passage.
The couple described a staggered schedule: a temple wedding for family members first, followed by a Bali honeymoon. The plan then included inviting their closest friends to a celebratory event that would be more exuberant, emphasizing a philosophy of living fully and celebrating joy with loved ones.
Dakota and Belogai also hinted at a final celebration aboard a ship, a nautical option that would cap the trilogy of ceremonies with a memorable voyage at sea.
Their union was formally registered on May 24, 2023, at the Moscow Multifunctional Center, with the couple arriving on scooters. They chose unconventional wedding attire for the moment, opting for comfortable outfits instead of traditional gowns and suits, while the bride wore a veil as a playful nod to the day. Fans who gathered outside the venue greeted the couple with flowers, banners, balloons, and celebratory noises while singing a club-inspired song that resonated with the moment’s festive energy.
