Caption/Description
The wedding party goes from house to house to visit shut ins that couldn't attend the ceremony. The celebration was the first celebration the remote, fishing community had in three years. The Russians who live here came for good pay, but when the Soviet Union dissolved, their paychecks disappeared. They turned to salmon and caviar to survive.
