A mass wedding ceremony was held in Shiite towns of Nubl and al-Zahraa of Aleppo province in Syria. About 100 young Syrian men and women from Nubl and al-Zahraa participated in the ceremony. The towns are in northern Syria, administratively part of the A'zaz District of Aleppo Governorate, located northwest of Aleppo. Al-Zahraa has a predominantly Shia Muslim population and along with nearby Nubl, forms a small Shia-inhabited pocket in a mostly Sunni Muslim area in the Aleppo Governorate. Al-Zahraa and Nubl have been placed under siege for 4 years by the pro-al Qaeda terrorists such as Free Syrian Army militants (FSA) starting in July 2012.
