Shaadi ka Kharcha
I’m marrying this girl and she’s so hellbent on having the perfect wedding that she ready to spend ALL her money (10L plus)
Me on the other hand am okay with a regular low key wedding as I think that money is better spent on investments and better quality of life than burning it in 2 days.
Now nothings wrong in her having a Bollywood dhoom dhaam wedding but I wanted to understand the psyche behind it. Logically it’s any day best to invest the money and have a better QoL as a couple, even travel maybe. But why is it some women don’t get it?
Is there a deep underlying reason?

didn't you guys discuss this earlier?
We’re not yet married so how can I dictate her what to do with her money? I did my best to explain her but as usual ek hi baar hoti hai, YOLO, rishtedaar ka maan etc etc
If you can't even agree on things before starting, how do you expect this marriage to last ?
The capitalist society has led women and men to believe that they're the center of the world. Because of this, appearances remain the no. 1 priority of people, even above their sense of security and true stability. Adding to this, Indian high society weddings have become a uni-season shows all around the internet, showing people how the rich celebrate their "once in a lifetime" event. Adding to this, the soul dead influencers constantly preach some of the most destructive, anti-disciplinary philosophies to the world like YOLO and the rest. Women (and even men) wanting a top-tier anything including wedding / travel / clothes / house / car is a direct product of this planned and channeled brain-washing done by the people at the top. I could think of only one phrase for this from the Orwellian classic 1984 - "Freedom is slavery"
Exactly man. I don’t know how people buy into this artificial sense of pride and entitlement.. good for capitalism unless it’s your turn to face the brunt of it
Some women ? I can bet more than 80% of women want their wedding to be with full dhum dham. Investment is always secondary for them.
My cousin (girl) was in the same situation, his fiance wanted a simple wedding, he was even up for court marriage, but my cousin wanted a lavish wedding.
Her Fiance gave her an option that we can use that money to save or for an international trip but she rejected both saying we can earn again to do investment and tours but weddings happen only once.
Exactly bro But why? I just can’t understand that 😭😭
Absolutely 0 points of having a Dhoom dhaam wedding..agree with the guy! Expensive honeymoon still okay!
Why isn’t anyone talking about overloaded make up?
I got married in 2022. Even though am doing extremely well. I didn't do intentionally this nonsense of grand wedding. I invited less than 60 people. Only very close relatives. Not even my mom's side relatives I invited and same goes for father side. People who were in touch with me and I found them during difficult time. Only those. 90% of my relatives were upset. I said it's fine. No need to come to my house. Fuck off.
Now I built my house far from my native and living peacefully with my wife and baby.
