12 couples in Beijing have staged a flamboyant group wedding at World Carnival, one of the world's largest traveling amusement parks, which is currently in the capital.

   
The wedding was held at three of the most romantic places in the park, the carrousel, the ferris wheel and the flying chariot. The organizer of the group wedding was World Carnival itself, who says they hoped to give the young lovers a memorable and romantic experience. The group wedding also received some support from some local businesses in Beijing.

Participants in the wedding were not required to bear any expense. They also received 10 tickets and some cute toys from the park.
