Is There a Way to Celebrate Love Without Breaking the Bank?

I’ve worked really hard to build a good life for myself. I studied hard, got a good job, and saved money. But now, I’m worried about the cost of weddings. It seems like everyone expects big, expensive celebrations. This could ruin all my hard work. It’s frustrating to work so hard, pay high taxes, and still feel like I’m not succeeding. I wish we could find a way to celebrate without breaking the bank

Stop being a people pleaser, nobody will give a f after you spend 20 Lakhs in wedding Split expense with your partner and spend whatever you are comfortable with.

India and mindless extravaganza for marriages - a never ending love story - to satisfy people - most of whom you won’t meet again in person. Most of whom don’t want to see you happy

Do a court marriage don't give a f about society (blood sucking leeches) find a partner who thinks like you as simple as that

Just keep everything under 10 lakhs. Anything beyond that is for show which really doesn't get you anywhere. I'm saying this from personal experience - it doesn't matter how much you spend in the wedding, it's not going to stop people from bitching. No matter what you do people will complain.

Find a girl/family who is ok with you guys having a small wedding. In a temple or with close family and friends. Donate some money instead.

Hold your ground. No one will remember this weeding in two years time. The money you save will give you much more security

Be broke. My wedding was done around 12L, 8L jewelry. 1L food, 1L decoration, 1L clothes, 1L other stuff.

I really really hate Indian society for making middle class spend way beyond their means on weddings. In the west spending 100k USD on ones wedding is considered a very big deal. In India 100k is a very typical price for a good wedding in tier 1 city. I just hate this aspect of weddings. Really sorry for you that you will have to go through this sadistic ritual of spending money twice.
