Hi all! Why is getting married so expensive! We are getting married in December, in Bangalore. I don’t want to splurge much. We are trying to find a middle ground with our families. We are looking to do haldi, mehendi and sangeet on day 1 and wedding on day 2. We will have guests coming from different states, so accommodation and food are additional expenses. I’m thinking of booking a resort/farm kind of venue for 24 hours, which would hopefully cover sangeet in the evening and shadi the next day. Accommodation in a decent airbnb/hotel near the venue, where we will have haldi and mehendi. Hop ..read more

Arranged marriage. Desi women in USA. Married 7 years I talked to him for 3 months before marriage. I somehow figured out he is not the one I didn't enjoy talking to him, he was always controlling that time too. But I did it , I get scared in situations and always feel I won't get any other person. I married him. First 3 years of marriage were very rough. I was walking on egg shells. He didnf use to take interest in my life. It was all about him, his work, his friends, his needs etc. then I read on narcissisism and trying to grey rock him wherever he threw tantrum and that somewhat works. But ..read more

hey guys! this may seem like a very privileged problem lol but it’s been bothering me for a while. i absolutely hate the venue we’re hosting our wedding at. for some context, my fiancée and i live in two different states and we had some of our events already where i live so now it’s his family’s turn to host events. we’re still living apart, so he toured venues on his own and decided to book one. i’ve always trusted his intuition and taste in everything so i didn’t really mind what space he picked out with his family. the venue itself is super accommodating - they are providing almost everyth ..read more

Guys my best friend is getting married. I don’t live in India and I’m visiting only for the wedding. It does not make sense for me to buy heavy lehngas as I don’t wear them often and cannot even take them along. Best idea is to rent. Looking for recommendations. And if anyone who wants rent me their outfits that they’ve also worn only once or twice I’m happy to take a look. :))) I’m 27 F, 72 kgs, height is 170 cms. submitted by /u/WrongdoerVisible4767 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more
