[quote=Anonymous]The reason weddings are expensive is because how much you spend and the kind of wedding you have is an emotional decision.   Some of it is cultural and SES related also.  It has nothing to do with the real cost of getting married - which is just the cost of going to the court and getting married in front of the justice of peace.  Frankly, a wedding is really a waste of money.

My DD is having an Indian wedding  and for a middle of the road, very average MC  Indian wedding, we will be spending around 200K.  This does not include a honeymoon.

But, culturally and socially -  we will also be having multi day pre-wedding events, pay for top shelf liquor and elaborate meals with multiple entrees, desserts, appetizers,  pay for rooms for some of our guests and bridesmaids, pay for clothing and jewelry for multiple events for family members and bride. Pay for clothes for bridesmaids. pay for photographer, decorator, DJ, makeup and hair  etc.

If you are just looking at just one day of wedding and reception at a decent enough place  (4 star and above hotel), you will pay around 150K for 300+ guests.
