A traditional Muslim wedding took place at Pikpa refugee camp here last month, sending a message of hope and determination that life can be rebuilt amid hardship.
Xinhua talked to the happy couple and the volunteers who brought in an imam and arranged for a big party to follow.
"It was a moment of joy. We remember and gain hope from the fact that despite everything, love prevails," said Efi Latsoydi, a volunteer who wished a beautiful life to the newlyweds, 26-year-old Kurdish Onur Tce from Turkey and 30-year-old Linda Ohda from Syria.
