I've been to about 5 Pakistani weddings, and I haven't had the same dish twice.



Ceremonial occasions such as weddings have inspired a number of fancy dishes. A traditional dish at marriage feasts, for example, is chicken curry with either PILAU or BIRYANI. FIRINI, made from cream of rice and milk, is an equally traditional wedding dessert. It is served in clay saucers topped by silver foil. At Zoroastrian (Parsi) weddings, which are not frequent because so few followers of this ancient Iranian religion live in Pakistan, a special fish dish is served. This is PATRANI MACHCHI, consisting of sole, plaice, or a local fish called pomfret, wrapped in banana leaves, steamed or fried, and then baked slowly for half an hour

Something in the back of my mind makes me think of biryani, which can be made with chicken, beef or goat. It is served with rice and often has dried fruit such as raisins in it. On festive occasions it may be decorated with edible gold leaf. That may be what you are thinking of, but I wouldn't say that it is an obligatory part of a Pakistani wedding.
