Everyone say 'I do'! - Tehran celebrates mass wedding for 110 couples

"Tehran was the site of a mass wedding ceremony for 110 couples in Imam Hossein Square on Monday. Footage shows couples arriving on military vehicles - including one very eye-catching pink one - with a photo of Iranian Supreme Leader Mujtaba Khamenei placed on the front. Guests can also be seen gathering for the celebraitons. "No matter what happens, we stand behind our country. And I send this clear message: America and Israel will achieve nothing with all the sedition they are sowing against our nation," Hussein Bakhtiaari, one of the grooms said. Bride Shayesteh Mousavi added: "We want to tell the world that the Iranian people fear no threat or conspiracy. They stand with Islam and the Iranian Revolution. This crowd you see before you is a thousand people who have come to strike the enemy with a hard blow." Organisers stated: "On the anniversary of the marriage of Imam Ali (May 18), Tehran will host a grand collective wedding for 110 'Janfada' (self-sacrificing) couples at Imam Hossein Square. The event is organised by the cultural branch of the 'Mohammad Rasulullah' division of the IRGC in Tehran." The wedding of Imam Ali and Lady Fatima Zahra - the daughter of Prophet Muhammad - is considered one of the most sacred in Islamic history"
