Transcribed from the clipping

Palestinian brides prepare prior to a mass wedding event in the West Bank city of Ramallah, Saturday. 252 Palestinian couples participated in the ceremony.

Context added by this archive

A full-width photograph of brides waiting, and a caption that counts them: 252 couples in one ceremony in Ramallah. Mass weddings are held because individual ones are unaffordable, though the caption does not say so and the page carries no story beneath it.
