How much did you spend on your wedding?

This is probably the most personal question I can ask but trying to level set my expectations on the big fat South Indian wedding I will be having this year

Btw ours was clearly not a big fat wedding by any means. We are also South Indians, but we were very clear on our expectations right from the start.

Rs. 12-15k. Registry marriage during Covid and then bought a flat with all our savings. Obviously love marriage. When covid was over, family asked for a wedding function and we cited we are broke.

Advice from experience: please spend as less as possible. My parents spent around 25L on a traditional South Indian wedding - this is about 12 years ago. There’s no real upside. Wedding clothes are expensive and useless.

Bride’s sarees cost a lot and don’t have real use after that day. Clothes are the last place to spend money on. Best is to have a simple close family wedding and maybe a dinner for friends and extended family.

My wife and I spent Rs 50K for a small wedding In a mandir where we did the 7 phere and had a pandit. Just had the immediate family.

Additional cost was borne by my mom since she WANTED to buy my wife some gold and precious stones based jewellery.

This helped us furnish our house a lot
