A heartwarming video of a couple choosing financial stability over a lavish wedding has gone viral on social media, sparking widespread praise and debate online. Defying the trend of grand, expensive ceremonies, the couple decided to invest their wedding budget in purchasing a new home, marking the beginning of their married life with long-term security rather than short-lived extravagance.The video, shared on Instagram, shows the couple performing their wedding rituals inside their newly bought house, surrounded by close family members. Simple decor, intimate moments and traditional pheras inside the home highlighted the couple’s belief that love and togetherness matter more than grand celebrations. The groom’s brother, who appears in the clip, explains that the family mutually agreed to skip costly wedding functions and instead use the funds to buy a house for the newlyweds.“The couple skipped expensive wedding celebrations and instead used the saved money to buy a house. They performed their wedding pheras inside their new home, choosing long-term security over a lavish wedding,” the video caption read.The clip has triggered a strong reaction from social media users, many of whom applauded the couple’s practical and mature decision. Several users pointed out that with rising property prices, inflation, and living expenses, owning a house has become increasingly difficult for young couples. Many felt the decision reflected financial wisdom and emotional maturity.“Marriage is not about wasting years of hard-earned money on a single day,” one user commented. Another wrote, “Societal pressure forces people into unnecessary expenses. This is truly the best decision.” Others called the move an inspiring example for future generations, suggesting that such choices could gradually redefine wedding norms in India, where grand celebrations often come with heavy financial burdens.
