This must be one the most lavish, elaborate weddings I have ever seen. Is this normal? No wonder a wedding can bankrupt some families.

<p>Can someone tell me what culture this wedding video (n0t the photo) comes from?</p>
<p>I know it is South Asian, but is it Pakistani, Bengali, Indian&#8230;?</p>
<p>This must be one the most lavish, elaborate weddings I have ever seen. Is this normal? No wonder a wedding can bankrupt some families.</p>
<p>Islam teaches us moderation and balance. We need to be less concerned with putting on a show that everyone will admire and remember, and more concerned with fulfilling our obligations to Allah, and starting out the marriage on a sound emotional and spiritual footing.</p>
<p>For that matter, imagine if all that money spent on the wedding was instead given to the new couple to help them furnish a new apartment, establish some savings, and maybe even start an education fund for their new children Insha&#8217;Allah. Wouldn&#8217;t that be so much more productive?</p>
