Bride and Groom Pose in Front of Government-Set Containers Amid Ongoing Protest
A couple in Islamabad took their wedding photoshoot to an unexpected location—right in front of containers set up by the government as part of security measures during the ongoing Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) protests.
A Unique Wedding Photo Location
Khola and Qasim, the newlyweds, were spotted posing for photos in front of vibrant blue and red containers, which were strategically placed in response to the large PTI protest convoys traveling towards Islamabad from various parts of the country. The containers were part of the government’s efforts to block major roads and prevent the protests from disrupting the city.
Bridal and Groom Attire Amid Political Chaos
The bride, Khola, wore a beautiful traditional white wedding gown with silver accents, while the groom, Qasim, was dressed in a grey full suit. Despite the challenging environment, the couple posed with joy as they held each other in front of the barricades, creating a striking contrast between the festive occasion and the ongoing political turmoil.
A Photoshoot in the Midst of a City Lockdown
The photoshoot, organized by an Islamabad-based photographer, was shared on social media and quickly gained attention. The post captioned the unusual wedding scene, highlighting the lockdown and paralysis caused by the PTI protests, which had shut down schools and restricted movement across the city. The caption humorously noted: “When you couldn’t find any other location on your big day, since everything was locked up. For Khola & Qasim.”
Mixed Reactions from Social Media Users
The couple’s choice of location for their wedding photoshoot drew a range of responses online. Some social media users admired the couple’s creativity and humor, while others found the juxtaposition of a wedding against the backdrop of protest containers unconventional and strange.
As PTI’s convoys continue to march towards Islamabad, the protests have led to road closures and increased security measures, with the government placing barricades to control the situation.
