This year has seen many grand weddings and the amount of money spent on most of these weddings is insanely huge. But breaking the monotony, a man in Karachi, Pakistan had a big fat wedding, but in a pocket-friendly budget. 
Rizwan capped the expenses at 20,000 Pakistani rupees which comes to Rs 10000 and still managed to pull off a marriage considerably grand. He later even tweeted about how he managed to do this miracle at a time where marriages cost fortunes. He called it ‘apni marzi ki shaadi’.
Here is how he made it possible.
Guys shaadi season hai so here’s my wedding story in a thread so you guys know that having apni marzi ki shaadi is possible.
My guest list had 25 names: friends and parents. The venue was my terrace. The menu was chicken tikka, seekh kabab, pathooray chanay halwa strawberries.
I set my max budget at Rs. 20,000. A friend lent his cooks, I bought the chicken and masalay from that money and helped prepare it all. Wife cooked khattay alu as a starter. Dad bought fairy lights n put them up on the terrace.
I borrowed 25 chairs from the neighborhood election committee lmao. I forgot dessert so @RizWanKenobi_ brought strawberries n ice cream. He also brought tables for the food. @HaseenaAtomBum and @hiranajam FLEW IN FOR THIS.
My wife and I wore plain blue shalwar kameez (mom n sis paid for this as a gift). We all ate and talked till midnight when wapda cut us off. The whole shaadi then moved to Manji Munch DHA and then bas. Khush! Done!
What I’m trying to say is. IT’S. OKAY. Sukoon karo. Do whatever you want ofc and whatever you can afford. But HAVE FUN. Be happy. Big or small, all weddings should just be HAPPY. Khush raho sab. Bye. (wedding pic added for saboot thanks) pic.twitter.com/xf2OJHqTVH
Rizwan and his wife delibrately kept it simple and the list of 25 guest speaks of how the couple wanted to keep their simple and niche. India has seen many big weddings of late but we all can’t afford such weddings. But Rizwan and his wife show us the way that simple weddings also bind people in an inseparable bond.
