Karnal, March 7 -- In wedding extravaganza that left residents of Karnal's Ghogripur village awestruck, a bridegroom arrived at the wedding venue in a helicopter, donning a garland of Australian dollar notes. This was the first-ever chopper landing in the village located 10 km from the district headquarters.

The groom, Sahil Kumar of Mathana village of Kurukshetra, who tied the knot with Nikita of Bazida Jatan village on Thursday, said that it was his father and grandfather's dream to see his baraat make such a grand entry.

Sahil further revealed that his younger brother, Vikas, a permanent resident (PR) of Australia, helped fulfil the family's dream. The lavish wedding display cost them over Rs.5 lakh.
