Alex Ovechkin sings Boney M’s ‘Rasputin’ shirtless, does conga line, and performs synchronized dance at his wedding

Saturday, Alex Ovechkin tied the knot with his longtime significant other Nastya Ovechkina at Barvikha Luxury Village.

The legendary celebration reached Peak Ovi when the Russian machine, shirtless, ambled up on stage and began singing and dancing to Boney M’s Rasputin.

And yes, there is video.

Off-key singing is my favorite type of singing unless the person singing is potentially inebriated and definitely shirtless. Then that becomes my new favorite type of off-key singing.

Here’s the full song for those who would like to rock out to it.


Before Ovechkin’s shirt magically disappeared, he also sang, or maybe more accurately screamed, a duet with rapper T-Killah.

The merry Ovechkin also led a conga dance.


Alex and Nastya performed a synchronized dance to Bryan Adams’ (Everything I Do) I Do It For You.

There was so much more dancing.


And I’m told that Ovechkin’s wedding party extended into Sunday as well. Ovechkin’s family and friends went on a cruise, sailing down the Moskva River.
