Brothers and friends of an overseas Pakistani groom rained down more than Rs 5 million in a spectacular show of wealth at a wedding in Sialkot, reported the 24NewsHD TV channel.
A special container was placed in the wedding hall, where family members and friends of the groom stood on a platform, showering local and foreign currencies.
The sky turned white with the rain of notes, attracting hundreds of onlookers.
The procession began in the groom’s village of Bakhre Wali, known as the village of overseas Pakistanis.
The groom’s brothers and friends started the money shower as the procession made its way to the wedding hall in Sambrial.
The groom, Imran, who lives in Italy, celebrated with his brothers, who came from Spain and Canada.
The event turned into a money-looting spectacle, with people from distant areas arriving to collect currency notes, some leaving the event significantly wealthier.
Showering money is a long-standing custom in Bakhre Wali, adding an extravagant flair to weddings in the village.
