As long as the bride and groom take up expenses, it sounds fair. Btw, how was the wedding? <br />I like simple temple/church weddings, save a lot of time, energy and of course money :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15718584125155517942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6636808797927234183.post-26096765470033912342015-04-04T07:06:02.923-07:002015-04-04T07:06:02.923-07:00Curious for the couple and troublesome for the par...Curious for the couple and troublesome for the parents.Nice topic.rudraprayagahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13775039913655864157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6636808797927234183.post-54340017933284233042015-03-23T03:28:35.520-07:002015-03-23T03:28:35.520-07:00I see wedding as a costly and tenion affair for pa...I see wedding as a costly and tenion affair for parents. They would have to spend half of their earnings on this. To top it with destination wedding is bad. And as you said, if the bride and groom meet expenses its is good. <br /><br />But my question is why so much fuss over a wedding. Isn't wedding an occasion to have loved ones around and just bless?Locomentehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08173005313179202281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6636808797927234183.post-56097401354423229592015-03-20T07:54:55.460-07:002015-03-20T07:54:55.460-07:00Wedding should be a sacred & private event.

It cannot be converted into a circus or FB post. <br />Atleast it is justified if the couple genuinely enjoy the same things - like underwater exchange of rings for sea lovers or mountaintop wedding for trekkers.<br /><br />But nowadays even weddings are for the sake of impressing the Joneses.

Wedding has just to be a pleasant event for the couple for their entire life. But, influenced by the celebrity/high profile people, many families go for grand/fancy wedding styles only to end up with loans for the lifetime... By any chance, do these grand weddings make their bonding stronger than the simpler ones?<br /><br />Hope you enjoy your trip :) TC!
