Ok I am Indian and in my early 20s, but am I the only who thinks these large weddings are kinda pointless. Sure they are fun, but I feel like it kinda ruins the point of a wedding in the first place. Like if I had 2000 or more people show up to my wedding I am pretty sure most of those people will be people I have never met in my entire life. Why should they be there? Also why would anyone wanna spend tens of thousands of dollars on people you have never met or met on occasion. I feel like weddings should just be immediate family members and your closest friends on each side. But hey that’s just me

The concept of family is different out here in India than in the west. Everyone from your 2nd cousin to your grandma's siblings are invited. Plus your college mates, parents colleagues and neighbours etc etc. It's a reciprocated gesture and you get similar invites as well. It's unnecessary and expensive but it has become a social norm and to not do so brings with it a lot of stigma. Several parallel industries rely on large Indian events for their livelihood from caterers, lights and sounds people and resorts, event management, hired vehicles, textile retaily etc. So it sustains a lot of people and is their primary source of income. It's just the ground reality. I thought the pandemic would change it but these events are bouncing back.

Yeah. But many of us indians find it utterly ridiculous. Others revel in the colorful big show-off wedding too. It becomes a status thing for upper middle class, same with dowry(which of course they won't call dowry) . Parents are ready to take loans for weddings. Mostly it's a big party and an opportunity to gossip for many upcoming days for all the relatives-close, known, distant and basically unknown while bride and groom sit on the stage all dolled up and most probably bored.

@@elle7153 My point was less that you can't or shouldn't criticize this, but I get annoyed when Americans act like this is absurd and "exotic" while overlooking some of the weird ways the wedding culture in our own country normalizes excess. Sure, the excess is different in "typical" Indian and American weddings, much more so for the typical upper-middle-class in each society, but we're often able to look past our own "normal" and exoticize what we're not used to. I think the least expensive I've attended was my own, and the most expensive was probably in the low six digits (USD), and if I'm wrong, I'm confusing it with a bar/bat mitzvah. You do work for an events company and they start to blur together a bit.

Indian weddings are a way to show the society that a certain man and a certain woman are a couple now. In ancient times, there wasn't any court system for marriage registrations and so, big weddings with the entire village invited was the way of gaining social acceptance. Though "big fat" weddings no longer serve that purpose, they are a way of the entire extended families of coming together. For many of today's nuclear families, weddings are the only occasions where distant relatives come together. And it is completely okay. Saying that Indian people should not arrange for large weddings if they can afford to, is almost equivalent to saying that Americans should not spend money on Christmas feasts - it is just excessive expenses on family, most of whom you hate to your core.

Alot of parts in mexico its kind of similar with the tradition of making a big wedding, you are kinda of forced to invite alot of people from distant relatives to friends of friends, it would be considered rude if you dont even if its people you hardly ever talk to. I think its pointless.

In America they still spend way too much money, when you consider the high incident of divorce rates, its a bad bet. In NYC, its over $60,000 on average. And I am sure that doesn't include ancilliary expenses. I think you are better off having a modest wedding and putting that money into savings or a down payment on a house.

A big fat wedding costs about $100,000 in India. Divorce rates are very low as compared to US. So they don't mind spending such huge amount.
@PJK782 жыл бұрын
India is a status-driven society. The more you have, the more your spend and show off to impress others. The face is Punjabis & North Indians have the highest divorce rate in India and overseas (it is not me saying, check stats on google). You can hear numerous stories from Punjabi girls, who will keep wingeing about their parents-in-law, dowry and unrealistic demands. This showing of culture ultimately costs their quality of life and relationships.

Indian Wedding = Investment of a Political Campaign. As simple as that. Here we invite people from various walks of life. Like if you had a friend during your days in a hostel, then as you grew up you'll invite his entire family to the marriage. So the extravagant weddings that you see are mostly by the Rich. They can only afford to spend upon inviting in thousands. If not, consider that person to be dumb and ready to go bankrupt. (Although this is a rare phenomenon)

India has so much to be proud of, with its rich history, numerous intellectual contributions, artistic achievements, and influential philosophical traditions. One thing, however, that is blight on my culture is our excessive preoccupation on elaborate weddings, which are nothing more than wasteful displays of status that is many times financial onerous and ruinous to the families who host such displays of extravagance. For a culture that, historically, has placed such an emphasis on self-reflection and wisdom, these matrimonial monstrosites show an utter lack of self-reflection and wisdom. The strength of a marriage, after all, bears no relation to the opulence of the wedding. Just ask Prince Charles or any divorced Hollywood celebrity.

About materialism, i agree some rich indians flaunt their wealth but most of us middle class have large wedding because of culture. Indian wedding last for more than 5 days minimum. Treating guest is very important part of indian and whole asian culture in general. Even in villages, people will make temporary mud and steel houses to accommodate guest and beautifully decorate it. So dont judge a wedding instead go to one indian wedding. You will understand how fun and celebratory it is. Dont go to these rich people indian wedding , go to rural india wedding , they are equally fun and wild.

Why you guys are trolling Indian weddings. Have you ever seen Lebanese wedding or Middle Eastern weddings. They spend billions of dollars just on decorations, dress and the wedding cake. But we Indians perform important religious rituals taking the name of God. So, that God bless them with a happy married life. And obviously money is required to perform those rituals specifically hindu weddings the rituals last for a week sometimes. So, these is not at all a waste of money. And yes rich people will spend thousand dollars on the different wedding dresses for different wedding rituals. They spend dollars in jewelleries and thousand dollars in decorations. While Middle class family cannot spend thousand dollars but still manage to buy beautiful dresses and stunning jewelleries. Even the rich westerners spend thousands dollars not just wedding but in daily life. This is how the world is. Not only in India but around the world

Indian weddings were traditionally big events for a host of thoughtful reasons...but just like customs in religions were over time folks forget (& in a generation or so don't even know) the real point & purpose of these events and end up corrupting it for purposes of vanity..in addition lifestyles have changed drastically with rapid urbanization & the nomadic and demanding nature of today's jobs...what were originally whole extended family events that served as anchors for various other current & upcoming family events in addition to various other dynamics have largely been reduced to mere vanity...not that I blame anybody after all societial & peer pressure will make it overwhelming to not follow suit with the lavish extravaganzas for most people..rather I am just making an observation on the why part...

@@ipshita5147 I agree the best course of action was for us to split. It would have ended that way eventually. Don't get me wrong I have no issue spending money on things that would fall into that category. The difference now is that its 10 years later, I own my home, I'm financially secure, etc. I just don't see the point (at that time) of putting that money out and going to into debt just to be married. Most marriages with money issues fail. I didnt see the payoff of being married and in debt, when we could be just as married and have money towards a he, our children, etc. If you have the money and that's what both parties want, go for it.

But let me tell you the truth, we still see cases where dowry is still handed over , but go unreported. Of course, it is on a decline in India since.younger Indians are much more forward thinking and opt for ceremony-less court marriages, and just throw a party later onwards for a select few unlike what is shown here. I am not saying what VICE shows is misrepresentation, but a phenomenon which is now on the decline.

Most of you are cursing the large gathering of people and relatives during the wedding and not knowing them it's all waste of money and time But remember it has been happening for so long( even for centuries) for a reason.. The wedding were a 3-4 day event and every time it happens for Hindu( lagan time) it will occur after harvesting crop not during, before and not during extreme cold or heat were. People have less resources and can't afford the essential item required for their son/daughter's wedding so they depend on eachother and everyone from their village and their relatives comes with help with gifts like food, utensil, clothes etc etc.. They didn't got any bank and can't hold onto large money so they give newta( I think you know) to others and get that money back on wedding... It was a celebration for unity of two people family and village... Every ritual( step) of Indian wedding is link to agriculture, because India was a Agriculture economy and still is... But now a days it has become a way to show your social status it's killing the meaning and essences of wedding...
