Marriage celebration is a big industry in Pakistan. Starting from dresses, jewelry, food and entertainment, lot of people are involve and earn their livelihood. Those who want a marriage to be simple, let them, and those who dont, let them.

You don’t need a petition. You need guts to change the mindset of this society and people around you.

I always wanted a simple wedding but so called family politics + pressure always push you to spend all your house deposit on the unwanted expensive clothes and even worse the “guests”

However, some social media users said that let people do what makes them happy. After all, it’s their big day. Those who can afford it might as well celebrate their big day based on their budget.

Wedding day is one of the most important days in one’s life. Bride and groom are treated like queen and king on that day, so why don’t look like them? Anyways, one can wear plain kurta salwar on any other normal day but can’t wear wedding dresses on a normal day
