APakistani reporter has taken journalism to a new level by reporting his own wedding.

Hanan Bukhari, a news reporter for local TV channel City 41, is making headlines for taking his job too seriously and reporting live from his own wedding ceremony, surprising friends and viewers. Footage of the TV report has gone viral.

In the video, Bukhari can be seen holding a microphone as if he is on duty but he is dressed in traditiona­l wedding attire.

“My parents and I are very happy today. Because it is a love marriage, my wife is happy, and so are her family members. My parents who made all wedding arrangemen­ts are joyful to make this day come true,” Bukhari says on camera.

He also interviewe­d his family on his big day.

His father said he was thankful to God for giving him the chance to make all arrangemen­ts.

The reporter revealed he had been pursuing his wife for four years before she finally accepted his proposal.

He then asked her what she had to say on her wedding day.

“You’re marrying me today, what do you have to say about this?” the City 41 reporter asked his wife.

As the bride was a bit shy and didn’t speak much, Bukhari asked her what she thought about the arrangemen­ts as the baraat (wedding procession) was accompanie­d by heavy bikes and sports cars.

“I’ve put in so much effort. I’ve brought in sports cars and heavy bikes to decorate my wedding procession as the entire city was looking in awe,” he said.

The bride smiled and said: “I am delighted. I hope you will make all my dreams come true.”
