Make a Grand Entrance in Baraat

Pakistani weddings involve an important but fun ceremony called the baraat. Along with the groom, friends, family, and cousins form a procession from the groom's family towards the bride's house. A groom is typically escorted by a horse or a horse carriage during the baraat. During the procession, the whole family and group of friends dance to popular songs. However, the groom does not participate in dancing. Modern grooms prefer to arrive at their bride's house in an expensive car rather than on a horse.
