Evolution of Indian Marriages

Does one need so much array and solemnity for a jubilant occasion like wedding? It is a shame that Indian marriages that have always been admired by the western people have transformed into an event of cash feet. Of course it is a special day for the bride and the bridegroom but the same special day can be celebrated in a much simpler way which has the capacity of even more happiness without falling into a debt trap. Parents need not burden themselves by gifting their daughters with gold or money as today’s parents have already gifted them with good education which can act as a security in uncertain events that could crop up between the husband and wife.

Most of the people who come to participate in the wedding become the biggest critics. Everything is scrutinized and found faults with, to create a debatable issue. Why does the brain of people work in such a menacing way at times? Marriage is such a pure event which is made of binding promises. The pureness of it is being lost with an intention of making it a pomp and show event. 
People who come to the wedding to bless the couple would not mind having a normal meal instead of a luxury meal. The traditional culture of serving people has long lost its roots. Instead of concentrating on the ways which would bring complacence to the couple, the family is more interested in making their guests happy in every other way possible so that the marriage could be talked about for ages. 

Sketching of complex and catchy arrangement will only add an element of stress among the close relatives who are involved in the marriage. The enjoyment in one’s own marriage cannot be possible in the modern Indian weddings.
For a rich man budgeting a sky limit wedding is not a problem, but for a middle class man it is a matter of concern.
