[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We do it because its part of our culture.

And we save for it like we save for college.

Though, TBH, we could have a fabulous wedding with a huge guestlist and wonderful food,drink, entertainment, clothes etc....on a budget too.  We are fabulous about putting on a great show with very little because our community will help us out.  [/quote]

+1 I'm Indian-American and wonder if this PP is too

No one needs to have a crazy expensive wedding if they can't afford it. It's like anything else - buying a big house or fancy car or luxury vacation

There was a study showing ppl who elope are more likely to get divorced. Obviously it's mostly correlation with various extraneous factors. [b]But having a manage a budget, preferences of extended family vs the couple, role of religion, compromising on location etc - there is some meaningful conflict negotiation and relationship discussion in the midst.[/b][/quote]

Lol, this is some major cope.

That would be like saying that buying an expensive house is a sign that somebody is going to be wealthy.  After all, they must have high executive functioning to keep up with the various maintenance items and will be pushed to generate a high income because of the payments. In reality, few things inhibit actual wealth creation as much as high housing costs.

Indians have big weddings because they like to show off.  Oh, and I’m Indian too.[/quote]
