[quote=Anonymous]Interesting. If we see just the per guest cost, the American weddings are almost as expensive as Indian weddings. The American brides spend more on their dress, cake, table centerpieces, table linen and plate setting, and flowers. Booze and entrees are very pared down. The number of people invited is quite small and the dancing happens for a few short hours. Indians spend more on top shelf booze with open bar, abundant food with multiple entrees, appetizers and multiple desserts (not counting the cake), dj and dhol, and huge number of guests. The dancing goes on for quite some time. And usually, the after party also goes on for a long time. The clothing and jewelry for bride, groom, bridesmaids and sometimes even the groomsmen are sourced from India and that is not hugely expensive. You can usually source all clothes and jewelry (not real gold and diamonds nowadays) in less than 5K. [/quote]
