    Guests in Indian wedding given the most unique gifts

    A man from Chattisgarh in India surprised the guests at his daughter’s wedding by gifting them helmets.

    Sed Yadav has gifted around 60 helmets to the guests at his daughter’s wedding.

    When he chose a helmet instead of expensive goods for the guests, Sed Yadav said it was to create awareness about road safety.

    Speaking to reporters, Yadav said, “I felt my daughter’s wedding was the best occasion to raise awareness about road safety. I told the guests that life is precious, and I appealed to them not to drink and drive as most road accidents occur due to drunk driving.” He said twelve members of his family also decided to dance wearing helmets during the wedding to support the cause.

    “I distributed around 60 helmets to guests along with sweets,” he said.
