    Indian weddings are traditionally grand affairs that usually involve different ceremonies and take place for about a week or more than that. Indian weddings are colorful and vibrant, these are the occasions where all the family members, relatives and friends get together and celebrate the marriage ceremonies. These are indeed very happy and joyful moments for the whole of the family as well as the bride and the groom. However, these events are traditionally accomplished with much of splendor but we Indians do not leave any chance to make it a Show-off buzz for others. The aristocratic families and elites spend a handsome amount of money on organizing and commencing different ceremonies of the wedding. Each ceremony becomes a wholesome wedding event in itself. Nowadays, the event management, wedding planners, honeymoon planner is also appointed to plan and organize the whole one week event of the wedding. The whole occasion of wedding becomes purely a show off event, of expensive attires, jewelry, marriage tents, ambience, cuisines and miscellaneous things. Farm houses and seven star hotels are booked for more than a week to organize the wedding plus the reception party. And this is a dazzle of expenses and show off, people somewhere lag in following and maintaining the true essence of rituals and traditions. Traditions are placed at the secondary place or perhaps only meant for the weddings of middle class people who cannot spend excessive money but at least can maintain the dignity of the Indian cultural traditions.
