Wedding ceremony in front of Mobile Suit Gundam statue in Tokyo

TOKYO, Japan - Bridegroom Yasuo Kai, 38, and his bride, Megumi, 37, pose during their wedding ceremony in front of the 18-meter-high statue of Mobile Suit Gundam, a popular robot from an animated TV series, at Daida in Tokyo's Minato Ward on Aug. 25. They were chosen from about 550 couples who applied for a plan offered by a Tokyo company that organizes weddings. The statue was erected last month to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the televising of the series and as part of an event to promote greenery in cities. (Kyodo)
