A young refugee couple roused emotions in Iraq with their beautiful wedding earlier today, February 16, 2017.
Hussein Danoon and Shahad Abed today had a wedding ceremony at Khazer camp, Iraq and it was a rare sight of celebration at the refugee station.
The couple had earlier had to flee the ceaseless fighting in Mosul, Iraq, just a month before their eventual wedding date, February 16, 2017.

Danoon the groom also got fixed up and dressed for his big day.
