Hundreds of couples gathered for a massive wedding celebration this weekend — the wedding that many of them couldn't have because COVID disrupted their plans:

There were older couples and younger ones, gay, straight and nonbinary couples, couples of different races and from different places, all joining together to pay tribute to love.Edelmiro Medina Jr and Evanette Concepcion take a selfie before symbolically renewing their vows.
But this celebration gave the couple room to relax and enjoy themselves, finally."It's been a really weird and challenging two years and it's nice to find these moments to reflect and bring joy to ourselves, to each other, and to those around us," Gibbs said. The trees on the outdoor plaza were wrapped in twinkle lights, with lanterns hanging from branches. Some couples wore bridal gowns and suits, others had special his-and-her masks. Staff members handed out bouquets and flower crowns. There were henna stations, a 360-degree photo booth, and champagne.
