It really depends on the family. If the guy’s side is more liberal or well off than the girl’s, he could be worried about making sure the arrangements/entertainment part (dances) is as per his family’s norms. In a scenario where one party wants a simple wedding and the other wants a bigger event and more hulla gulla, you should try and find a middle ground. Incorporate some of his suggestions but without your parents going bankrupt. Ask him what things are really important to him and be realistic with him about your own family’s expectations/budget.
