[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Indian wedding tradition won’t last long. Maybe another 20-25 years tops. It makes no financial sense and is just a big waster of time. [/quote] I disagree. In fact, over the last few decades, Indian wedding traditions have actually become even stronger and more commercialized. The reason is that in the US - Indian Americans have the highest median HHI and they also remain very connected with their country of origin where the economy is booming. Apart from the fact that the culture of expensive weddings always existed to enable transfer of wealth, now there is also the Bollywood and social media influence. Cultural aspects of weddings incorporate what they value as a society - very well educated and established children, children marrying people from similar backgrounds, close knit family and a painstakingly cultivated large social and familial network.
