[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Weddings are out of control. I'm of South Asian origin, have 3 weddings to attend this summer. Its going to be expensive.

Families are also spending a lot. South Asian ones are splitting the expenses but one is marrying a white woman and her family isn't contributing so he and his family are paying for everything. His wife started her first job last year after grad school and has huge student debt so can't contribute. [/quote]

Her family probably doesn't need or want the big lavish wedding. [/quote]

Oh sweetie, Indian weddings may LOOK like they are outrageously expensive, but they are not nearly as expensive as they look. At least not the normal people ones - we are not all Ambani rich. I am confident that the vast majority of boring white people weddings in barns cost far more than my and my friends "lavish" Indian weddings. [/quote]

Irrelevant. This bride and her family clearly don’t want a big wedding. Why is the grooms family even involved?[/quote]

I don't think it is a matter of wanting or not wanting a big wedding.  It is that they are cheap. Or poor. Or dysfunctional. Or all of the above.

Why is the groom's family involved? Because groom does not come from a broke, poor and dysfunctional family.  And groom is not an orphan. [/quote]
