Wedding is an occassion where two people enter in to a relationship after performing all the traditional,religious rituals  in the presence of thousands of guests .Normally all weddings irrespective of caste,religion etc are always celebrated with utmost grandeur.People celebrate the occassion depending on his or her financial capabilities.But the one we are talking about had proved out to be the mother of all weddings.
Yes this  is  true.We are elaborating on the largest mass wedding that took place at Sun Moon University ,in Asan South Korea.Sun Myung Moon the founder of the unification church was the man behind this grand event.

The 'blessing ceremony', held by the Unification Church, was its largest for 10 years and could be the last may be to be performed  at such a large scale officiated by 89-year-old Reverend Sun Myung Moon, the controversial founder of the church.
More than 20,000 people crammed into the Sun Moon University campus in Asan, south of Seoul, for the main event this morning, with another 20,000 joining simultaneous ceremonies in the U.S. Brazil and Venezuela

Some were new couples who met for the first time in recent months in unions arranged by the church, while others were married couples renewing their vows.
The brides wore white veils and wedding dresses, or their national dress. The grooms wore black suits with red ties, with white scarves wrapped around their necks.
The mass wedding ceremony is meant to mark Sun Moon's 90th birthday and the 50th anniversary of his marriage to Han Hak-ja.
the event got all the attention it deserved as it went on to become a world record for the Largest Mass Wedding ever .40,000 people tying the knot was really not an issue worth to be ignored.The mass event took place on October 20,2009
