While the winds of change seem to be taking the world by storm — for all the good reasons, one would imagine what would go down if the same wedding happened in Pakistan.

Not like there wasn't any already with Meghan's father not making it to the wedding.

Let's start off with the couple of the hour, Harry and Meghan. As the bride walked down the aisle, a Western equivalent of huge wedding halls in Karachi, she's sure to have million things running through her mind — much like everyone else in attendance.

It's only fair that the bride gets all the attention on her big day.

And while it's the father of the bride who is usually worried about the finances, it was the groom's this time — also because Meghan's father couldn't make it to the wedding.
