Weddings in Pakistan are no strangers to grandeur and spectacle, but a recent wedding gesture has taken opulence to new levels. In a jaw-dropping display of wealth, a groom’s father rented a plane to drop millions of rupees over the bride’s house, creating a viral moment that has caught the attention of people worldwide. This lavish gesture is just one example of the growing trend of extravagant wedding displays that are sweeping South Asia.
Pakistan: A Plane Dropping Cash Over the Bride’s House
The video showing the plane dropping bundles of cash over the bride’s house has gone viral, capturing the imagination of social media users. The aerial spectacle, which saw money fluttering from the sky, quickly became the subject of widespread discussion. The caption accompanying the video humorously captured the absurdity of the moment: “The groom’s father rented a plane for his son’s wedding and dropped millions of rupees on the bride’s house. Now it seems the groom will continue to pay off his father’s debt for the rest of his life.”

While the video has garnered over 2,000 views, it remains unclear whether the bride’s family was involved in this extravagant gesture, adding a layer of curiosity to the spectacle. The video has sparked both amusement and debate on social media, with many questioning the lengths to which people will go to showcase their wealth.
A Growing Trend of Lavish Wedding Displays
If you thought this airborne money drop was unique, think again. Extravagant weddings have become a growing trend in Pakistan, with some truly bizarre displays of wealth becoming the norm. Just last month, a groom received a 35-foot garland made entirely of currency notes from his brother. According to The Daily Guardian, the garland, which used around 2,000 currency notes, was valued at roughly PKR 1 lakh (approximately Rs 30,000). This massive garland quickly became the center of attention, as a video showing the group of people proudly carrying the wedding accessory went viral.
Previous Examples of Grand Wedding Gestures in Pakistan
This is not the first time that a jaw-dropping wedding gesture from Pakistan has made waves on the internet. In 2022, another viral video showed a groom draped in a gigantic garland made of currency notes. The garland was so massive that the groom needed help from at least six friends to hold it up, with the groom and his friends nearly hidden behind the overwhelming display of cash.
No Limits to Wedding Extravagance in Pakistan
As these viral wedding moments continue to make headlines, it’s clear that there are no limits to how far some families will go to make their weddings unforgettable. Whether it’s money raining from the sky or enormous garlands made of currency, these over-the-top gestures are becoming a defining characteristic of wedding culture in Pakistan.
While some netizens find humor in these extravagant gestures, others question whether such displays are an appropriate way to celebrate a union. Regardless of the opinions, one thing is certain: the trend of larger-than-life wedding celebrations seems to be gaining more popularity, with no sign of slowing down.
