I was at the Guggenheim in NYC last week and visited the Kandinsky gallery. There was a painting near the entrance of the gallery that could have represented a wedding. It contains 3 ghostly images of women in white, with one holding a bouquet of flowers and a man in a black top hat. I don't remember the name of the painting – call the museum and speak to the curator there.
I've studied Russian, Chinese and Japanese, so I know that any word in them can be Romanized several ways. Why? They do not use the Roman alphabet that English does. Russian uses Cyrillic. Do you say wodka or vodka? Wassilly or Vassilly? I bought my first Art History book at age 15, and I have more, including college textbooks for courses I took in European and American Art History. In some of my books, I see that Vassilly Kandinsky or Vassilli Kandinski (I don't recall it given as Wassilly) was a nonobjective painter, so his paintings are not about real things. They are just compositions. You evidently have him confused with another painter, perhaps Marc Chagall who did paint weddings in his Primitive style. Both men are from Russia. Perhaps Kandinski did more realistis paintings before he developed his nonobjective style, but my books only show this type of painting. I have books on individual artists but not him. I will try to find some whenever I can. I'm 2750 miles from home visiting Mom who is ill.

I don't believe he painted a wedding, but he has painted a few churches.
