Shot in Menoufia, Egypt, by photographer Ahmed Kassem, a video of the wedding party begins with a veiled man conducting an anthem used in a propaganda released by the militants.
He then leads the bride and groom into a cage similar to the one used in the video of a Jordanian pilot who was burned alive just last month.

The idea for the themed wedding was thought up by the groom who had told his bride-to-be that he was planning something different for their wedding.
It was only the groom, his attendants and the photographer who knew about the theme of the party ahead of the wedding.
As the theme unfolded in front of the guests, some believed that the wedding was being stormed by IS militants according to the Youm7, a local Egyptian newspaper.
Pictures and videos of the wedding started making rounds on social media after Kassem uploaded the video to his Facebook page.
