Indian weddings are all about dance, drama and entertainment. A large group of people come together and families try their best to make it a memorable affair regardless of their financial status. Recently, a video of a Meerut wedding has taken the internet by storm, not because of the unique dance moves or hilarious stage mistakes, but because of its lavish display of wealth. The video from the ceremony featured a substantial financial transaction between both sides and has drawn a lot of interest from social media users.

In the video, the bride’s family was seen giving the groom’s side Rs 2.5 crore in cash.

Similarly, the local mosque received Rs 8 lakh and the Maulana, a Muslim scholar, who presided over the Nikah ceremony received Rs 11 lakh.
According to reports, the video was taken at a resort on NH-58 near Meerut and showed bundles of cash being distributed among a sizable crowd. Many guests could be seen at the scene while the transactions took place, emphasising how extravagant the wedding was.

Another commented, “All such big fat wedding expenses must be charged with GST of 28% while relief should be given to goods of daily consumption bought by the poor & middle class.”
