Every day on World Now, we highlight a remarkable shot from somewhere in the world. Today’s shot comes from Ventanilla, Peru.

This is the second year that the Peruvian city has organized a group wedding in a pool on Valentine’s Day, the Associated Press reported.

It’s a moment of lightheartedness in Peru, where the news is often not so light.
