WATCH: Sialkot wedding showered with luxury cell phones, dollars

Foreign currency notes, luxury cellphones, and costly clothes were tossed over guests during a wedding in Sialkot, creating a social media sensation.

In a viral video, friends of the groom, who recently returned from the United Kingdom, are seen showering currency notes and mobile phones from a balcony onto the delighted crowd below.

Extravagant wedding celebrations are not uncommon in Pakistan, where some ceremonies extend over a week.

In June, a wedding in Punjab’s Kot Addu district attracted attention when a groom’s uncle gifted him a 30-foot-long currency garland worth Rs500,000, made of Rs50 and Rs100 notes, becoming a focal point for selfies and admiration.

The lavish display at the Sialkot wedding has sparked reactions online, highlighting the cultural traditions and grandiose displays typical of weddings in the region.
