Eleven couples said "I do" in a group wedding organized by the Center for Community Transformation (CCT) Negros branch. Three of the couples are community partners in CCT's microfinance program, two are parents of pupils of the Visions of Hope Christian School in Bacolod, and six couples are children of microfinance community partners.
Seven of the couples had been living together outside of marriage for more than five years and decided to get married as an act of obedience to God.
The ceremony was officiated by Rev. Rene T. Bajalan and was held at the Mayfair Plaza in Bacolod on September 20. This is the 11th mass wedding organized by CCT Negros since 2003.
