Hala China, a joint initiative by Meraas and Dubai Holding, last week (Thursday, 14th March) hosted a group wedding for nine Chinese couples in Dubai at the exclusive Love Lakes.

The glamorous knot-tying occasion saw the serene lakes near Al Qudra transformed into a picturesque landscape for the culturally curious couples who wanted to hold their wedding ceremony amid the sprawling tranquillity of Dubai’s undulating sand dunes.

The ceremony marked the first time the islands have been used for an exclusive private event, and it was carried off in typically spectacular Dubai fashion, with the nine bridal dresses fluttering in the desert breeze as an expression of unbridled marital joy.
