Indian weddings are meant to be extravagant. From decor to venue, to outfits and catering, you spend crazily during your weddings. Friends and relatives from all over the world come down for that special day of yours. But, is this how you really want to spend all the money you have saved up after years of hard work? On people who will come to your wedding to eat, and may even say a few mean things about your clothes and your caterer?
