20,000 rupees mein shaadi by the couple from Lahore is genius
Pakistani weddings are big and expensive. That is considered a fact. The expense is so overwhelming to even consider for most people that many even lament the birth of a girl child just because they will have to pay for her wedding. But, this Pakistani couple from Lahore just told their own simple wedding story and to be honest, it seemed like the BEST wedding ever.
Oh, and if they seem familiar, that’s because Palwasha and Rizwan are wedding photographers and they’re pretty awesome at what they do.
For the wedding itself, the couple had set a goal; they would have the entire event in PKR 20,000. The first thing they did was compile their guest list which consisted of 25 people; parents, siblings and close friends.
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.

The menu was simple and was prepared on their terrace during the event. The set up was borrowed from the local election committee and Rizwan’s dad bought fairy lights which he set up to give the place a shaadi wala ghar vibe.
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!

The couple wanted to keep things simple and celebrate their new chapter with only those closest to them, and tbh, this sounds like a dream.
This must be the sweetest, cutest wedding ever. Congratulations!

In a time when big weddings with mandatory hashtags and several pre and post wedding events are the norm, the couple proved that you can have a very small event and the day can be just as memorable and happy.
In the end, Rizwan said to each their own and you should do whatever makes you happy. Whether that is inviting 25 guests on your terrace or 2500 in the grandest marquee in your city. We love the story of this couple from Lahore, don’t you?
Happy shaadi season, folks!
