130 Couples Get Married at Once
On June 22, 2008, 130 couples gathered in Linshanpi, Taipei, to be married in a mass beach wedding ceremony.
The event was organized by the Taipei County Government and Tourism Agency, in hopes of promoting the local beaches as a great place for a wedding ceremony.
“This place has nice scenery, and it is romantic to get married with so many couples. I am happy,” said bridegroom Chen Chia-hong.
“I like weddings with a relaxing style, and I like beaches,” added bride Kao Ya-ying.
The local government has been sponsoring large weddings since 1970, in a continued effort to keep couples from spending large amounts of money on individual ceremonies.

aww, i find that so sweet. It might not be as personal as if you were to spend a wedding celebrating two people’s union, but the more the merrier
