A couple in the Philippines shocked their guests by shaving their heads completely in front of family and friends, leaving the attendees in disbelief. In a video that garnered millions of views on TikTok, newlyweds Jony Lee and her husband Alistair were seen shaving their hair during their wedding ceremony.
Jony and Alistair announced at their wedding that they would not perform the traditional "money dance," a Filipino custom where the bride and groom dance while guests tuck money into their outfits. This kind gesture was meant to show empathy for the bride's mother, who had been diagnosed with late-stage ovarian cancer. The couple sought to raise funds for cancer patients during their wedding.
Thanks to their thoughtful initiative, the couple raised over $3,000, which they donated to a cancer charity. Unfortunately, the bride's mother passed away two months after the wedding, but her beloved memory lives on through the TikTok videos created by her daughter, who uses the platform to raise awareness about cancer in honor of her mother's life.
