A photo circulated on social media platforms showing a groom filling up his car's fuel tank on his wedding day in Amman.

Social media users said that the Jordanian groom's car ran out of fuel during the wedding-car-parade, better known as Fardeh.

The photo shows many of the groom's friends and passers-by on the road helped the groom to fill the fuel tanks after almost half an hour.

Fardeh [færdɛh] is a parade of tens of cars moving together from one agreed-on location to another. It usually occurs in main streets of the city while drivers continuously honk in synchronicity. The Fardeh (also known as Mawkeb) is mostly associated with weddings and graduations and increases in frequency during the summer season.
