Wedding day gifts are never easy to choose especially when an invitee is not sure about what the groom and the bride like. While many play it safe by gifting regular home décor or kitchen items, some become adventurous to the extent that their gift becomes too bizarre.
But even bizarre gifts will be considered 'normal' compared to what a groom in Pakistan received on his wedding day.
Believe it or not, the groom was given an AK-47 assault rifle as a gift. A 30-second video of him receiving the gift from his wife has now gone viral on social media.
The short clip, shared on Twitter and Facebook, shows the groom smiling while being handed the rifle by a woman. While he stands up to take the gun in his hand, his wife is seen smiling.
According to an ARY News report, the woman who is seen presenting the rifle is the mother-in-law of the groom.
The video has now received over 2.19 lakh views with over 2,700 likes and 500 retweets.
Netizens were surprised that the groom was not shocked to receive the rifle as a gift. In fact, he and his wife remained absolutely unfazed as attendees cheered and applauded him in the background.
Some users pointed out that it’s a custom in some families to present the father or the grandfather’s hunting rifle to the son or grandson.
"For all those calling it an act of terrorism, hold your breaths pls. It’s a custom in some families to present the father’s or grandfather’s hunting rifle/Kalashnikov to the son/grandson on his marriage not to promote terrorism but as a gesture of honour," a user wrote.
Back in September, a Pakistani man bought a one-acre plot of land on the moon as a wedding gift for his wife.
Sohaib Ahmed, a resident of Rawalpindi, bought the lunar land in the region called 'Sea of Vapour'. The land was bought from the International Lunar Lands Registry.
Ahmed said that he was inspired by late Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput to buy the piece of land on the moon.
