Today I heard about a grand wedding of an Indian tycoon (Ambani's son) from a friend of mine, and he showed me some videos of it too. He said famous and powerful people from around the world have been invited to it, and the cost of the event was going to be several Billions (of Indian Rupees or USD, I don't know).
If you think about it, India is a country with a higher population of substandard living conditions. There are innocent and miserable children who are forced to work for a mere subsistence, being deprived of education, health facilities, and food and water. I remember a movie based on a true story in which Akshey Kumar was playing the leading role where he makes sanitary towels (pads) for poor women who could not afford it. In such a country, a single wedding event spends billions of money. What a crappy world we are living! You could imagine how much wealth this family has amassed.
On the other, this "mental disease" of exorbitant spending must be highly welcome. That could be one of the best ways to re-distribute the wealth among a larger population.
The average person must not be enticed to spend the life-time possession of their wealth for their own weddings or such events, though. The bad thing is that very marginalized or not-so-wealthy folks seem to be trying to imitate what the rich or capable people are doing.
I know some young people who dream to be dressed by so-and-so male bride dressers; a few hours wasting a few hundred thousands forever. They would buy the most expensive iPhone which is intended for the niche market (the rich), wear very expensive shoes and pants, and want to use expensive items which are all made for the rich. I think the level of intelligence is to be blamed here; not their fault. They don't understand the meaning of true utility.
However, this same misunderstanding of true utility from the rich people is a good thing to the society. There have to be vents to leak the excessive.
Anyway, I wish the new couple a very happy wedded life and hope you guys will keep celebrating your wedding anniversaries each year with such extravaganza.
