Today's weddings are becoming bigger and expensive than it used to be in the past. Why is this happening? Is it positive or negative development?

Wedding ceremonies, nowadays, include large amounts of

money

and a considerable number of people as compared to the past. Peoples' habit of showing off, in my view, is one of the major reasons behind

this

trend. The aim of

this

essay is to explain why the phenomenon of over-budgeted and bigger

marriage

functions do more harm than good. The prime reason for spending large amounts of

money

and inviting many people in marriages is showing off.

This

is because

of making arrangements for weddings at homes. What is more, the larger the number of people is expected to come, larger the arrangement for food and seating will be.

Thus

increases the overall budget. The trend of bigger and expensive

Therefore

Besides

, the world will become a better place for those who really needs it.
