A total of 130 brides and bridegrooms will tie the knot under the theme “Wedding of Zayed’s Children” at Rashid Hall, Dubai World Trade Centre on Tuesday 1st May 2018.
Commenting on the preparations, Khalil Saqer bin Gharib, Director of Corporate Communication Department, Head of Mass Wedding Committee said: “PCFC has done all necessary preparations to host its seventh mass wedding, and partnering with GDRFA for the fifth year in a row. This supports the UAE’s strategic plans including Dubai Plan 2021, and helps reduce cost for young people planning to get married.
