Big Fat Indian Weddings Strain Finances and Postpone Financial Goals

Imagine you want a toy, and you see lots of cool toys on TV that look amazing!

So, you ask your parents for a super big, expensive toy.

But getting that toy means you can't save money for other important things you might need later, like college or a house.

Many people in India are doing this with weddings.

They want very grand weddings, like the ones they see on Instagram, with fancy decorations and lots of guests.

This makes the wedding cost a lot of money.

Sometimes, they have to use money they saved for other important things, or they even borrow money.

After the big party, they might have a lot of bills to pay and it takes a long time to save up for their future plans again.
