Ashraf Abu Hakam was seen holding his bride’s hand and dancing together in the moments before disaster.
Just before he fell, he was waving a Saidi stick while his bride carried the matching pole.
Saidi sticks are props for a traditional dance originating from Egyptian folklore, often performed at weddings and other special occasions.
The couple were partying with their loved ones when he suddenly collapsed to the ground.
The footage shows him laying on his back as guests rushed to his aid.
The music and laughter were replaced by screams as the wedding venue fell into disarray.
Unfortunately, Ashraf was unable to be revived.
Doctors later confirmed he had died from a heart attack.
News of Ashraf’s death spread quickly via social media, with tributes flowing in.
He was described by his friends as being “full of life” and “excited by his future“.
Mourners recalled celebrating his engagement just the day earlier.
“May God have mercy on him, and grant him a place in the vastness of His paradise,” one person wrote.
Another said: “His age cannot delay an hour or advance it for his family and wife; sincere condolences.”
“I’m worried about this bride, the poor thing, and the talk that will follow her. May Allah grant her patience,” a third said.
Ashraf’s shock death comes after a 26-year-old Bosnian nurse also died after falling into a coma at her own wedding.
Adna Rovčanin-Omerbegović, an influencer and nurse, fell ill at her wedding reception on September 13.

While undergoing treatment, she fell into a coma.

“It’s not fair that the lives of young people should end prematurely like this,” another added.
