The end of 2018 has been too much for us. The moment you open your Instagram, all you see are the more and more extravagant weddings of your favourite stars. Each one is the benchmark for expensive celebrations! Nuptial ceremony is supposed to be the happiest day of your life, and it certainly does not mean that it has to be the most costly. Our favourite stars Priyanka-Nick, Deepika-Ranveer, Isha-Anand’s wedding was all over the internet, who kept the traditional ceremonies a private affair and receptions a gala time. Putting up the traditions but flouting the trend, a Pakistani man’s story of his simple wedding only with a budget of 20,000 Pakistani rupees (approximately Rs. 10,000) is the new-found love for the netizens.

In his thread, he described how he set a budget of a minimum amount for his nuptial ceremony before moving into the details.

Easy wedding plan!
I set my max budget at Rs. 20,000. A friend lent his cooks, I bought the chicken and masalay from that money and helped prepare it all. Wife cooked khattay alu as a starter. Dad bought fairy lights n put them up on the terrace.

My wife and I wore plain blue shalwar kameez (mom n sis paid for this as a gift). We all ate and talked till midnight when wapda cut us off. The whole shaadi then moved to Manji Munch DHA and then bas. Khush! Done!

Happiness is all that matters. Everything else is secondary. I guess living by this rule brings contentment and you are an excellent example of that. I wish you and bride and very happy married life. Many congratulation and best wishes for your future.

This is lovely! I think all weddings should be like this. Weddings are important rites of passage and you should only be surrounded by love and honesty when it’s happening. The simpler the event the better and more loving.

Although, Rizwan did not share any inside pictures, his frequent updates on the micro-blogging site are all that we needed. His idea has once again proved that a ceremony could be beautiful and affordable. If you like the tradition of big-fat weddings, keep it. If you do not, skip it! There is so much freedom for you to decide what you truly want.
