A bride and groom are showered with money as they dance during a wedding in the Egyptian Nile Delta province of al-Minufiyah on May 20, 2016.
Parties to save in 'money pools' have become more common in Egypt in the past few years as economic conditions deteriorate amid the political, security, and economic turmoil in the aftermath of the January 2011 uprising. The idea is to throw as big a party as possible to attract a large crowd and more financial contributions. / AFP PHOTO / MOHAMED EL-SHAHED
