Weddings, undoubtedly, are becoming more lavish day by day. Some believe
this
 extravaganza cause a financial burden and unnecessary stress on the
future
 couples and I completely agree with
this
 statement.
Firstly
, in order to afford grand weddings, new couples and their families normally undertake big loans or use their long
time
 savings.
This
 is because by doing so, they feel integrated in their society and they will not carry the stigma of being poor or stingy.
For instance
, in India, when girls are married, their parents use all the money that they have been saving for years into their big day. Had they done a small marriage, depending on their affordability, that money could have been used in a more useful and productive way.
Secondly
, large parties come with enormous stressful moments. In an aim to have everything perfectly set up in a short span of
time
,
future
 brides and grooms do not enjoy these days as much as they should have been. To exemplify, new couples trying to imitate big fat weddings, spend lots of their
time
 looking for perfect caterers along with event planners so that nothing goes amiss. Had they spent
this
time
 together, they would have had the chance to know one another which could have helped them in the
future
 life. In conclusion, despite big weddings make people feel socially prestigious, it does not outweigh the negative impacts that it causes on
future
 husbands and wives. The money and
time
 spent could have been made more fruitful and rewarding in the
future
