MARRIAGE SHOULD BE SIMPLE AND THERE SHOULD NOT BE ANY GIVE AND AND TAKE I MEAN WITHOUT DOWRY. BUT AFTER THE MARRIAGE THERE SHOULD BE GOOD RECEPTION ACCORDING TO THE FINANCIAL POSITION OF BOTH GIRL AND BOY'S FAMILY. NOW IT DEPENDS ON YOU HOW MANY GUEST YOU INVITE ON THE RECEPTION AND WHAT IS RATE OF PLATE AND WHISKY.

Are you talking about a wedding or a marriage?
In a marriage, since that is a long time, you will spend A LOT of money. That goes for if you are rich or have little income. It is just like a car, it requires maintenance and upkeep to keep it stable and in good working condition.
If you are just talking about a wedding, that really depends on the amount of money that you are willing to invest in it. Rich people can spend in excess of 100,000 but that makes their wedding no more important than the couple who could only spend 1000 on it. It is not an indicator of just how long the marriage will last or if that expensive wedding would be pulled off without a hitch.
In the end, no matter what your financial means are, it boils down to your culture norms, ability, and planning. You can have a gorgeous wedding and not break the bank.

Only spend enough for the items that are neccessary. Try to save as much money as you can prior to the wedding. Do not worry what others think, it is not their wedding it is yours. Depending on the circumstances and your local traditions there or may or may not be things you could easily exclude from your wedding to make things less costly. For food and decorations try to buy wholesale and discounted items. I spent like $5,000 USD on my first wedding and it was not even a success so do not worry about the price. Just worry about the moment and the bond that you will share with your new partner. Also talk to the other party and your family members about this issue. It does not matter how money is spent, what matters is getting married and having a successful marriage. I wish you all the best in a successful marriage. P.S.: Check out some websites and search for: "How to do a wedding on a budget".

I think one has to remember that when one gets married one is not marrying anybody's mother or father and with due respect to traditions....it is very possible to have a wedding on a budget. Make the signing of it the official day where your friends and family are invited followed by a restaurant meal. Total cost: less than a grand.

You marry only once. So its OK to splurge on the occassion, I guess. And to make it a memorable event of your life, you might have to spend a considerable amount. But remember that the aim is to make it memorable for you and your wife primarily. Think of others thereafter. In your effort to make it worthwhile don't go overboard and beg, steal or borrow. If you blow up everything, the event might be rosy but the after effects pathetic. And don't try to copy and paste a royal wedding. Spend only as much as you can decently. Customs in social marriages differ from community to community. And so do the costs. So its difficult to estimate.

It is prohibited under the law for the extravagance. Marriage can be performed simply or lavishly. Spending lavishly is nothing but a foolishness. A poor man also perform marriage to the extent of his resources. Rich can spend and perform marriage lavishly. Do not think people will call you spendthrift or miser. Think yourself and act judiciously.

It deponds on the person,country,relegion,his/her parents affordability and his regional custom.
So levishspending sould be avoided.Instead of spending money on decoration,food and otehr expenses, the bride & bridegroom may give books to some schools.plant trees,or do any social event.

You should spend no less than is required to make the day memorable to both of you and no more than the money you can afford to live without.
