Bride and groom pose for photographs in Beirut\'s Rweiss neighbourhood
As Lebanon battles with ongoing violence in the country, one couple were certain not to let their big day be ruined. Wearing a modest white gown and veil, the fashionable bride
posed with her new partner among broken glass and destroyed buildings to celebrate their wedding party in Beirut’s Rweiss neighbourhood, just three days after a car bomb killed at least 27 people and wounded around 325 people.
Lebanon is deeply divided into supporters and opponents of the regime in neighbouring Syria.
Sectarian tensions in Lebanon, which was dominated militarily and politically for 30 years by Damascus until 2005, have soared as the Syrian conflict has raged on.
