Saudi Arabia's government sponsored a mass wedding for 100 couples wednesday. The festive occasion was sponsored by a Saudi prince who wanted to do something in honor of his wedding anniversary. Making the occasion extra special, the grooms were all orphaned at a young age.
On top of paying for the wedding expense, the prince is also treating each newly wed couple to a honeymoon. It is Saudi tradition to hold separate wedding ceremonies.
