Pakistani weddings are filled with lots of celebratory functions and colorful events. Although the desi wedding functions are often filled with lots of exciting surprises, we definitely did not see this one coming. A mother-in-law, in a dramatic turn of events, presented an unlikely gift to her son-in-law.
The following video, which has now gone viral on social media, shows that the lady congratulated the groom and gave him a hug. She then proceeded to get a Kalashnikov assault rifle out and presented it to the groom. The bride can be seen subtly giggling at her mother’s gesture.

The AK-47 (alternatively known as a Kalashnikov after its Russian inventor) is a gas-operated rifle, that was first developed during World War II.

The public had mixed reactions to this gesture of the mother of the bride. While some cracked jokes, others were outraged.
