My friend is Indian, and is likely to have a wedding soon, which would be in India (I'm in Australia). I have to choice of going to India and seeing the wedding, or celebrating at the after party in Australia.
My only concern is that it will cost me nearly $3000 to travel to India, which means taking out a small loan. Is it worth it or should I just stay here in Australia?

It all depends on how close you two are. If he is your best friend or among your best friends I say you go, otherwise, celebrate with him in Australia, he'll understand.

I do not think it is worth it go to go India. I am getting married soon and I would NEVER want someone to spend a fortune to come to my wedding. I have also made it clear to some family members that can't afford to spend the evening in the area that I would much rather they spend the evening then worry about any wedding gifts (I didn't mention this until they did, I don't EVER assume anyone is going to give me a gift). I would rather have family around than any money in my bank account.
I think your friend would rather have you enjoy the after party (with or without a gift)... rather than go into debt to see a ceremony. I know I would feel terrible if someone went into debt to be at my wedding.

Stay home, keep your 3 grand and celebrate when the party comes to Australia. A wedding is mostly about the bride and the groom. If your friend is a real friend they will understand. If they really want or need you there, they can foot the bill.

you understand all your questions are all approximately money. think ofyou've have been given to be one materialist caught up individual. You cant take it with you and people who ought to gloat and instruct to the worldwide that they've money do no longer many times have a dime. for sure you probably did no longer have a competent upbringing because of the fact in case you probably did you've got been taught some thing approximately manners and being all on the subject of the money. I doubt you have what you assert interior the 1st place. for sure you particularly have in no way been around authentic money given which you may see that those that have it ought to care much less approximately telling anybody what they have. no person cares and get a existence. you will finally end up a bitter lonely previous female sooner or later. You cant take it with you. those with your sorry character make me opt to vomit. this is a ask your self you have any friends in any respect. human beings are going to be certain what you're all approximately and you wont have any friends. no person desires to take heed to you boasting all the time. this is stressful.

If you can't afford to go without taking out a loan, I say do not go. Your friend will understand.
(Unless this is your very very best friend and the only friend you would ever consider taking out a loan for and the wedding ceremony holds great significance for both you and your friend. And you would be able to pay back the loan within a year. Then maybe I would go.)

Wait for the party in Australia; unless you are in the wedding party I wouldn't think your friend would expect you to make such an expensive trip. You will enjoy yourself much more if money issues are not circling around in your head.

Stay and party when you have a chance to do it .i think it will be nice for the newly wedded couple to have a party which will be more informal with no parents and uncles and aunties. If you stay you can always get them a better gift to

Which is going to be more meaningful to you/and your friend, being at the actual ceremony (which if it is video taped you can watch later) or having money to give them a gift and hanging with them at the after party? I would choose the after party, my friend wouldn't want me to go into debt to make it to the wedding, and if they really wanted me at the ceremony, they would pay my way.

Stay, because there will be lot of things happening in marriage and if you dont know anybody else, you wont get the attention you would expect. as your friend will be too busy.
Just watch it on the video.

Honestly? I'd talk to your friend and ask if they really want you to go. Explain that you're willing to obtain a loan to make it possible as you don't want this decision to be a detriment to your friendship. See what you're friend's thoughts are and formulate your decision from there.
