Meet Hanan Bukhari, the Pakistani journalist who reported his own wedding

To do a comprehensive job, Bukhari went on to interview his parents, mother-in-law and bride

When one of their own ties the knot, the team at Pakistan’s City41 channel often includes clips of the wedding in their news segments. Unusual enough, you’d think. But when a correspondent turned up at his colleague’s wedding to film just such a clip, little did anyone expect that the groom would feel the urge to take over the reporting.

The groom, Hanan Bukhari, a 25-year-old reporter for City41 and Channel 24, can be seen in the video, saying: “This is a day of great joy since it’s my wedding today.” He is dressed in wedding finery and Peshawari-style turban.
