Is there such a thing as a mass wedding?

This actually does exist. I have heard of a number of couples choosing to get married on the same day at the same time in the same ceremony. There are a number of reasons why people do this. Sometimes it is because they are good friends, or because they live in a small, remote community and they want make a big celebration out of it. Sometimes gay couples also choose to do this, so that they make their wedding into a celebration of gay pride as well as a celebration of love and devotion. Sometimes, families that don't have big budgets for their celebrations also choose to wait and do joint ceremonies, or mass weddings as you call them. It can save the families lots of money and it will allow for more guests to come since the two families will only have to pay for one event space, one band, one caterer, just more food and more tables and chairs. If you are considering a mass-wedding, it can be a way to make an occasion extra celebratory. It brings lots of people together, takes the spotlight off of just one bride and groom for those who are camera shy, and can also be easier on the wallet. However, this should be a decision that you should run by your parents and your fiance's parents since they can be kind of particular about marriage and wedding ceremonies.
