how much are you planning to spend on yours ?

This is probably the most personal question I can ask but trying to level set my expectations on the big fat South Indian wedding I will be having this year

How much did you spend on your wedding?

Engineering manager

29,M. I am planning to get married this year. My parents have not accumulated much money, plus i don't want to burden them with the expenses of my marriage, hence I will be sponsoring the marriage on my own. Same is the case for my partner, and we will split all expenses equally.

Now, here comes the twist, our parents wish to retain the "izzat" that they have in the society and want to do a big wedding. The budget that I have been told is minimum 20L. Tbh, I don't want to spend this much. I was looking for something ~ 5L.

People on grapevine, especially the members who married recently, what do you think is a decent budget for marriage. Additionally, could you help out in some money saving hacks.

Budget for marriage

Product Manager

Do you use it extensively or is it just laying in a corner?
Do you think it was a good investment or just an impulse purchase?
Are smartphones enough for pics/videos?

If you are planning to get married what estimated budget do you have. Are you taking any loans. Give your thoughts

INR 10-13 lakh spent per wedding in India. 
Average annual household income is INR 4 lakh. 
Assuming 2 households spending, it's 1.2-1.5x their annual income. 
Assuming only the girl's family paying, it's 3x annual income. 
It's absurd how much people love to spend to feed and entertain the people they never want to see in their lives again. 
Also absurd, no big startup in this space. Why is no tech bro/gal conquering the wedding space?

If you did, how did you manage to convince your parents to have a simple wedding? Even some of my friends are stating I'm being cheap. 

I seriously do not intend to have a grand wedding by calling the entire khandaan. I'd rather want to spend this money having a good life with my partner.

After the Ambani wedding fiesta I was wondering how much do people generally spend on their weddings?

For context I am 28 M and unmarried so I can't share my expenditures.
