27 dresses

We were delighted to receive an invitation from a young couple we know to attend their wedding. As we arrived, we noticed a large group of people gathered outside the church. We hurried over and saw a lovely young lady in a wedding dress. But it wasn't our friend. Then we saw another, also not our friend. It turns out, there were not one, not two, but 27 couples getting married in the church today. 27 dresses, 27 weddings, 3.5 hours. A wedding marathon if there ever was one.
