Re: Cost of weddings

I kind of agree with the no boxed gifts. What if people just give like cheap tacky gifts? Why shouldn’t the couple say fine just give us cash? If people are actually buying gifts, they will probably spend like 200 on a gift, might as well give 200 cash instead. The couple can buy something they want.

Im going to disagree with alot of people here. I think if you have the money, and your financially stable, go ahead and enjoy your day. Its like going on vacation, you can go to hawaii or europe, OR you can go on a cruise for $600. its what ur comfortable with spending. I personally think, most people only get a wedding once. If you can afford it and if you WANT to, go ahead. Only thing I completely disagree with is going into debt for a wedding.

Americans spend as well, Its just the way they choose to spend is different. They will spend 20k on a diamond ring. They will almost always go on a honeymoon and have a bachlor party/have an open bar and a photo booth and candy station. Pakistani people will spend 20K on gold and some dont go on a honeymoon.

Finally, I have found a sensible gupshup poster in this thread who shares a similar view on the concept of wedding and its significance.
