Among the guests: Dancers Alexander Minz and Mikhail Baryshnikov, who, like Makarova, had once belonged to the Soviet Union's Kirov Ballet. The bride, who had been married prior to her 1970 defection from the Kirov, did not bother with a honeymoon this time around. One day after the ceremonies, she began rehearsals...
