The pamamanhikan in the Philippines is performed when a woman and man after a long relationship decides to get married. It is where the man formally asks the woman's hand from her parents while he is with his own parents.
Mass weddings are sometimes preferred for economic and social reasons, such as the reduction of costs for the venue, officiants, decorations, as well as the celebrations afterwards which can sometimes be shared between multiple families.
