Weddings are considered to be the most indelible day in a persons’s life. So, in order to show that this moment is very special, it is understandable for people to spend large sums of monies. Moreover, there are ample costs which might result in the wedding to be more expensive than inteneded. For instance, the bride and groom might desire a very famous venue, high quality dresses and suits, ecstatic entertainment for both them and their guests and also for delicious meals. So, it seems quite coherent for weddings to cost an arm and a leg as many want their weddings to be perfect.
However, people can possibly extend their budget unnecessarily , especially if the newly weds plan to divorce each other after a while. The excessive funds used to commence the wedding would feel like throwing money down the drain. Futhermore, it seems unwise to show your love for someone by spending thousands on a single event for 1 singular day. The reason being that they could use part of it to invest in their future dream house or car. It would hold more sentimentel value since it would show how much you cared about your marriage and also act as a reminder of the trust a married couple built.
Personally, there is no shame in spending a lot of money on a wedding but it would be best to maintain a budget since moments at weddings are likely to be forgetten after a few years.
