New York's Lincoln Center is accustomed to hosting grand events, but Saturday's was far from routine.
About 700 couples arrived at New York City's Lincoln Center to exchange vows during a mass wedding.There were fancy dresses and men in tuxes, but some came in attire that was decidedly more casual - not an unusual sight at New York's Lincoln Center. But the scene Saturday evening was far from routine as faux flowers hung from the balconies and as brides - yes, brides - clutched bouquets of roses and wildflowers in the din of a hall teeming with hundreds of giddy couples.
On Saturday, her mother, who declined to discuss that matter, waited patiently in the humidity for the nuptials to begin so she could finally witness her daughter exchange vows with the love of her life. "It felt like such a New York thing to do," said Oishi, who wore green for the occasion. "We know we're going to get married, so why not get a chance to celebrate it now before we're apart?""Our parents would obviously be very upset to miss the real one," Oishi said.
"I just saw that it was a very nice opportunity for us to strengthen our team because we are a team now with our two kids," Masaquiza said.The clear majority were couples who were using the event as a recommitment ceremony.
