A young Pakistani couple decided to break trends by donating all their wedding money to charity.
Shehzaan and Zainab Chunara donated all the money for their wedding to the Aghakhan Foundation.
Speaking to Today.com, Shehzaan said, “We began tallying up expenses and started to think it wasn’t worth putting that much money toward something that would only last a few days.
“Something didn’t quite feel right. We wanted to use the money for something that will have a lasting impact.”
Shehzaan added, “I’ve seen poverty up close and it’s extremely heart-wrenching,”
“We felt like it was the right thing to do to give someone an opportunity to have clean water, an education and a roof over their head.”
