A Turkish couple who got married last week invited 4,000 Syrian refugees to celebrate with them.
Ali Uzumcuoglu and his bride, who is not named in local media reports, tied the knot in Kilis province on the Syrian border, which is currently home to thousands of refugees fleeing conflict in the neighbouring country.
It's traditional for Turkish weddings to last between Tuesday to Thursday, culminating in a banquet on the last night, but this couple decided they wanted a celebration with a difference.
Hatice Avci, a spokesperson for aid organisation Kimse Yok Mu, told i100.co.uk that the charity is responsible for feeding 4,000 refugees at a camp near the town of Kilis, but last Thursday the newlyweds donated the savings their families had put together for a party to share their wedding with the people living in the nearby camp instead.
