New York got a taste of the big fat Indian wedding when one family shut down the Broadway to celebrate. Suraj Patel, an Indian-origin attorney in the US, shared glimpses from his brother’s wedding on Instagram, where his videos have quickly gone viral.

“We shut down Broadway for my brother’s wedding,” read the caption on top of one of his videos, which shows a massive wedding procession on the streets of New York City. People can be seen grooving to Punjabi songs in the video.

“My heart is so full, for my family to have all been here for such an incredible occasion for my brother’s wedding, so much love and energy on the streets of NYC,” wrote Patel while sharing the clip on Instagram.

In May this year, a video of US cops joining a Punjabi family for a wedding dance was widely shared online. The groom’s sister Manpreet Toor told Abc 10 that she taught one of the officers the “turn the lightbulb”, “crush the cigarette” and “turn the doorknob” moves.
