This ceremony involves the bride's siblings and cousins stealing the groom's shoes and asking for gifts in return. Instagram user and digital content creator Warda Sikander came up with an interesting twist regarding this ceremony during her wedding. She convinced her brother to steal her groom’s shoes while wearing a Money Heist costume.
