So last year a Pakistani couple tied the proverbial knot in a hybrid Nikkah/Mehndi ceremony and the whole of twitter was invited. Their wedding has been one of the top trends on Pakistan’s twittersphere for almost two weeks during the wedding.
So who is this couple and what happened at the wedding that trended all over the country’s social media?
Meet Sara
The bride. Sara Muzzammil is a digital marketing executive. She is a partner at The Digital Factory.
And her husband
Adil Awan, the groom, is a social media ninga and a partner at The Digital Factory. Yes, the couple is partners at work and life(#relationshipgoals).
Both, Sara and Adil, are two of the oldest and most popular twitter celebrities in Pakistan. And the news of their wedding has been getting a lot of twitter population’s attention and time.
It all kicked off with the bridal shower
Let the festivities begin. #BridalShower #PurpleFlashers #SaraAurAdil

The trend #SaraAurAdil, that has caught the attention of Pakistan’s twitterati for the past fortnight, was born with this tweet.
They sent out this ‘Save the Date’ straight out of a fairytale
I love this!
Stay blessed you both. ❤️
Loads of prayer and love. #SaraAurAdil @SaraMuzzammil @aurAdil pic.twitter.com/S1VDdON2rU

Wondering what’s the aversion to boxed gifts, though.
To kick off the pre-wedding events, they had a rung party/dholki event
All set for #SaraAurAdil ki dholki

From the looks of it, it was one heck of a dholki/party
However, like in all love stories, this one had the baatein karne walay log as well
Some people were angry that they couldn’t enjoy the live feed of the events:

While some were just trying to play their “fairy tale step sister” role:
Is this the same Adil that hits on almost every girl he follows? #SaraAurAdil
— Adaobi (@Yus_Raw) September 6, 2015
None of this mattered to the Bride and Groom
Haters gonna’ hate!
So.. I'm still alive after last night. Wasn't expecting it. #SaraAurAdil
