Moon marries thousands in global wedding
Brides in white gowns and Japanese kimonos joined grooms in black suits and red ties today for the Unification Church’s biggest mass wedding in a decade – a spectacle said to involve 40,000 people around the world.
The “blessing ceremony” was the church’s largest since 1999, and may well be the last on such a grand scale officiated by 89-year-old Rev Sun Myung Moon, the controversial founder of the Unification Church.
