A wedding celebration in Pakistan achieved new heights of extravagance when a plane was hired to drop millions of rupees over the bride’s house. The eye-catching spectacle, which has gone viral, adds to the growing trend of unconventional and lavish wedding gestures that continues to capture the internet’s attention.
South Asian weddings have long been known for their opulence; each ceremony offers something new and peculiar. However, this particular display of wealth has divided netizens.
A viral video shows the plane dropping cash over the bride’s house. The caption, offering a humorous take on the extravagant gesture, perfectly highlights the situation’s absurdity. It goes, “The groom’s father hired a plane for his son’s wedding and splurged millions of rupees on the bride’s house.
Now it seems the groom will continue to pay off his father’s debt for the rest of his life.” However, it is unclear whether the bride’s father was involved. If you thought this plane stunt was bizarre, think again – extravagant weddings are the norm in Pakistan today. Just last month, a groom was presented with a unique 35-foot garland made entirely of currency notes from his brother.
As The Daily Guardian reports, it was made from about 2,000 notes and costs around PKR 1 lakh, approximately Rs 30,000. After all, it became a hotspot after a video of the garland went viral on social media, which opens with a group of people proudly carrying the ostentatious wedding accessory. It seems like no marriage in Pakistan is too much or too weird.
