Big love
Most people share their wedding day with family and friends. But the newlyweds who got married in a mass ceremony at the Unification Church in South Korea this February shared their special day with thousands of other brides and grooms as well.
Some 3,500 couples came to the mass wedding held by the Unification Church, which began performing collective marriage ceremonies in the 1960s.
