When it comes to travelling to a foreign land, many of us love to immerse ourselves in the local culture. Most travellers do this by trying traditional cuisine, being a part of festivals, using public transportation and some even go the extra mile by learning the language. But have you ever seen a traveller attending a local wedding? If not, a recent video making rounds on Instagram deserves your special attention. Jack Rosenthal, a travel vlogger from the USA, is currently exploring India. To experience the culture firsthand, he attended a grand Indian wedding. Now, you might be wondering how he scored an invite. Well, during a tuk-tuk (a type of auto) ride, Jack mentioned to the driver that he wished to attend an Indian wedding. In a heartwarming turn of events, the driver, gracious and welcoming, told him that his cousin was getting married the following week and that Jack was more than welcome to join the celebrations.
In the Instagram clip, Jack is seen rocking a floral yellow kurta-pajama set. He is dancing his heart out and soaking in the vibrant energy of the desi wedding. The text overlay on the video perfectly sums up the moment: "POV: Your tuk-tuk driver invites you to his cousin's wedding."
