"wedding" is in quotes because

The New York Times referred to a 1997 ceremony for 28,000 couples as a "marriage affirmation ceremony", adding: "The real weddings were held later in separate legal ceremonies."

This is also the same Unification Church from the assassination of Japan's Shinzo Abe. In more recent news: Japan asks court to strip Unification church of religious status
