I attended a wedding recently, and a thought crossed my mind—how much does it really cost to have a wedding these days? At 23, I realize it’s time to start planning for such big life events. So, I crunched some numbers: If I start a monthly SIP of ₹10,000 for 6 years (assuming I marry at 29) with an average return of 12%, I’d have approximately ₹11–12 lakhs by then. Considering the average cost of Indian weddings today—₹10 lakhs and above (including jewelry, venue, and other expenses)—it seems I might still need to dip into other investments or compromise on my long-term financial goals. This got me thinking: Is there a better way to plan for such milestone expenses without sacrificing future goals? Should we approach wedding savings differently—like dedicated funds or financial products tailored for such life events? Would love to hear your thoughts or strategies on how you’re planning for your big day financially!

Hear me out. Why not a specific financial product just for weddings? Banks have car loans, education loans, even travel EMI options, time to normalize wedding-specific funds. Let your money work smarter

Big fat Indian weddings are overrated. Why not focus on something intimate and meaningful? Your SIP can then cover both the wedding and a killer honeymoon...memories > extravagance, always

Instead of locking your savings to just a wedding, think broader. Combine it with future travel or a home fund? this keeps options flexible and avoids that post-wedding “oh no I’m broke” phase
