Filipiny: masowy ślub [GALAERIA]

350 par wzięło ślub jednocześnie w stolicy Filipin.

Aż 700 osób powiedziało sobie sakramentalne „tak” podczas gigantycznej ceremonii ślubnej w Manili, stolicy Filipin. W uroczystości z ramienia władz wziął udział między burmistrz Manili, były prezydent Filipin Joseph Estrada, choć sam już żenić się nie musiał. Masowe śluby cieszą się rosnącą popularnością w tym kraju, szczególnie wśród ludzi, których nie stać na zorganizowanie drogiego wesela. Filipińczycy wierzą, że masowe śluby pozytywnie wpływają na umocnienie więzi rodzinnych. Ślub wzięły m.in pary „mieszane” pod względem wyznaniowym: np. katolicy z członkami Niezależnego Kościoła Filipińskiego (Kościoła Starokatolickiego), fot: Francis R. Malasig, PAP/EPA.
