Well...it actually depends on the sect of christian. But I feel, in all christian sect, there is some kind of malayali rituals. For instance giving milk for the new couple (first thing you give at their home) and giving saree for the eldest of the women in the bridegroom's family etc.
Congrats :wave: and may the beer stay frozen :DQuote:

The main problem in Hindu wedding is that the rituals itself cost soooo much that one needs to save a lot of money before planning to get married. :(
Luckly, here there is something called engagement party and the wedding party. If the engagement is conducted by the bride's side the wedding is by the groom's side. Some who can't make it for the wedding will be there for the engagement. Hence the load is kinda shared...but the wedding is for more expensive. I guess it is anywhere between 75K and 150K on average.
yes defe ideru.i will try to keep it child by placing one bottle to another.Quote:

10 to 15 Lac (1 Million to 1.5 million rupees) is a lot of money. An average middle class marriage in a non-metro city should cost around 300K to 400K rupees (on each side).
I think I read somewhere that there are certain laws regarding limiting the expenditure on marriage in some places. Cant remember where.
There should be similar limits in India as well. For a person who can afford, it is fine, but some people even take loans and mortgage property to lavishly spend on weddings. This, I think is not right.
This is my personal opinion and I may be wrong!
does weddings have to that expensive?? :ehh:
I agree. I guess its common (anywhere in the world) to want the best on that special day. Sometimes (or maybe most of the time), people show that through quantity/expense. But IMHO, what's important is what the occasion signifies.Quote:

Well that depends on community to community. South Indians are mostly vegetarian (not all). Hindus do not eat beef, muslims do not eat pork, some eat meat but do not include it in marriage ceremonies as it is considered holy ritual and eating meat is generally condsidered aasuri (deamonic) act.Quote:

hehe, I like all kinds of meat..
My dad spent $35K on my sister's wedding reception, about 15 years ago. It was the first time I'd ever seen him drunk! It was nice, but I doubt it was necessary. They are still married with 4 kids. He is doing ok, but is out some change.
If there is any kind of boozing in the party, then there is no bar for the money you can/need to spend. In our marriages, there is no drink...so the party expense tend to stay that level.
it goes with the culture and the religion :DQuote:
