200 Couples Come Together in Lebanese Mass Wedding Ceremony

Published January 20th, 2019 - 08:01 GMT

This year’s mass wedding ceremony took place at a service organised by the Palestinian Presidency and the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO) and held in the Lebanese fishing town of Rmaile, south of the capital Beirut.

Newly-wed 150 Palestinian couples and 50 other Lebanese couples came together in the mass wedding ceremony. The goal is to allow young couples who are financially unable to pay for their own wedding, to celebrate their marriage.

The wedding is allways an amazing experience. Never stressful as the organizers took care of most things, making it a personal experience.
