How much did you spend on your wedding?
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

Btw ours was clearly not a big fat wedding by any means. We are also South Indians, but we were very clear on our expectations right from the start.

1.5 lacs. Love marriage, Arya samaj way. š¤«
Rs. 12-15k. Registry marriage during Covid and then bought a flat with all our savings. Obviously love marriage. When covid was over, family asked for a wedding function and we cited we are broke.

Advice from experience: please spend as less as possible. My parents spent around 25L on a traditional South Indian wedding - this is about 12 years ago. Thereās no real upside. Wedding clothes are expensive and useless.
Brideās sarees cost a lot and donāt have real use after that day. Clothes are the last place to spend money on. Best is to have a simple close family wedding and maybe a dinner for friends and extended family.

My wife and I spent Rs 50K for a small wedding In a mandir where we did the 7 phere and had a pandit. Just had the immediate family.
Additional cost was borne by my mom since she WANTED to buy my wife some gold and precious stones based jewellery.
This helped us furnish our house a lot
20l in 2021 from my side, 20l from her side including the jewelry. Wedding in North India, Reception in South India. Nothing extravagant, nothing skimped on.

Getting married in June 2023, our budget is like 2 Lakh INR. Simple wedding with sub 120 shortlisted relatives.
Around ā¹20 lacs each, both from her side and mine. Had two wedding receptions and a regular wedding. The receptionās per plate rate and the 40 odd rooms in a decent 4 star hotel were the biggest cash guzzlers.
5L all inclusive...combined..her side as well as mine...back in 2007
