A heartwarming video circulating on social media has captured the attention of many: French football star Benjamin Pavard, known for his successes with France’s national team and Inter Milan, was seen dancing with a traditional Albanian plis (white cap) on his head during his wedding celebration with Albanian model Kleofina Pnishi.
The wedding, held on the picturesque Amalfi Coast, featured a romantic seaside ceremony where Pavard and Pnishi sealed their love in front of close friends and family. A special highlight of the evening was the inclusion of Albanian cultural elements, honoring Kleofina’s heritage.

Adding to the celebration, Pavard even formed the Albanian double-headed eagle with his hands — a move that sparked enthusiastic reactions online, with fans affectionately calling him “the Albanian groom.”
The video quickly went viral, drawing admiration from Albanians across the globe for Pavard’s genuine embrace of tradition and his joyful participation in the celebration.
