On June 14, 2025, a newly married couple made a powerful statement by joining a street protest immediately after their wedding ceremony. The bride, dressed in her white gown, and the groom, in his tuxedo, walked hand-in-hand through the demonstration, holding signs that underscored their commitment to both their union and their political convictions.

Surrounded by fellow protestors carrying various placards, the couple's participation highlighted a growing trend of individuals integrating social and political activism into significant personal milestones. Eyewitnesses reported a vibrant atmosphere, with cheers and music accompanying the procession, as the couple became a focal point of the demonstration, symbolizing unity and defiance.
