In Canada, a mass wedding was held for six of Mr. and Mrs. Leo Dorsers' 15 children. Papa Dorsers organized the six-way ceremony due to his busy farm schedule, allowing four daughters and two sons to marry simultaneously at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Blenheim, Ontario. The event was crowded with participants, and the ceremony concluded in 40 minutes. Despite having five more children of marriageable age, Papa Dorsers is not rushing into more weddings.
