???? While the drama may take a number of forms, all mock weddings are theatrical parodies of the marriage ritual, in which members of a community dress as a wedding entourage and stage a mock ceremony. https://www.capjournal.com/.../article_d887ebb4-8f8b-11e2...

These teachers seem to have had a good time together. There are several pics of them 'carousing' with each other 'after hours'.
