Amid ongoing political unrest in Islamabad, an adventurous couple turned a unique challenge into a memorable moment by staging their wedding photoshoot against the backdrop of containers placed by the government to manage protests led by the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).
The bride, Khola, wore an elegant silver-white traditional gown, while the groom, Qasim, donned a sleek grey suit. Together, they posed for their big day in front of vibrant blue and red containers symbolizing the tense atmosphere gripping the city. Captured by a local photographer, the photoshoot quickly gained attention after being shared on social media, sparking a mix of admiration and surprise.
While some applauded the couple’s ingenuity, others deemed the setting unconventional. The photographer’s caption, “When you can’t find any other spot for your wedding because everything’s locked up,” humorously highlighted the difficulties residents face amid citywide lockdowns.
The ongoing protests have disrupted daily life in Islamabad, with major roads blocked, schools closed, and movement restricted due to government measures to counter PTI convoys. Protesters are demanding the release of their leader, Imran Khan.
The lighthearted photoshoot served as a creative reprieve amidst the chaos, drawing attention to the challenges faced by residents. However, opinions on the shoot remained divided, with some appreciating the couple’s spirit and others questioning their choice of location.
