Videos circulating on social media captured the extraordinary moment when the groom’s brothers and friends tossed bundles of cash into the air, creating a whirlwind of notes.
The wedding took place in the village of Bikhre Wali, a region known for its large overseas Pakistani community. The practice of showering cash at weddings has become a well-known tradition here, symbolizing wealth and goodwill during the joyous occasion.
