I’m not referring to this thread per say (although some of the things mentioned in this thread have been mentioned elsewhere). There have been several threads and blogs with people commenting on lavish weddings and how wasteful, pointless, etc. it is to have a lavish wedding because the guests don’t enjoy it and all that jazz.

Traditionally, Pakistani weddings have always been about familial fun, raw excitement and blend of apparent joy and hidden melancholy, and depending on what type of lavish weddings you attend, certain lavish weddings lack these features. Everything feels too stiff and ceremonial. Besides, the whole idea of big fat white wedding is also on decline in Western countries, so people in general prefer minimalism over extravagance these days. However, many Muslims tend to not like lavish, over the top in your face luxurious weddings on religious basis and there’s nothing wrong with that in my eyes. We all have our own taste and preferences.
