Marriage over celebrated

Marriages have been really commercialized these days. It was evident yesterday when Delhi saw 35000 marriages in one day. There were huge life size structures all over the place with a Gazillion Watt of light bring thrown in every direction. Women did not seem to mind the dipping Delhi temperatures and were dressed in their "finest" clothes. Men tagged along ..

It came to my mind that such over-elaborate arrangements for a marriage are so much in fashion these days. It is a pity that people feel the need to spend so much money .It is of course good business for the suppliers etc but it is all overdone. Yes, marriage is a significant event and must be celebrated but how does one justify spending so excessively especially when there are people in many parts of our country who cannot afford a meal.It all seems such a waste to me.

I agree..I hate lavish weddings..of late with Vanisha Mittal, Raveen Tandon, Elizabeth Hurley, Aishwarya..they kind of made marriage an expensive tamasha...I always think I will have simple wedding..and save the money to start a business or make a movie..something useful.
