Im a few episodes behind I think, but I’m watching TJ & Kim’s wedding and wondering (ballpark) how much the two day event like this might cost in India? It looks beautiful with so many fireworks/sparklers, outfits, hair and makeup, the horse, details like the flower canope they held over Kim as she walked down the aisle, the tall fabric panels around the stage, henna artist & so many different ceremonies, etc.
Side note: Do we know who paid? I remember TJ saying his family was arranging it all and usually the bride’s family would, but don’t know if they mentioned if her side contributed financially.

Indian here - at least $20k USD. In addition to paying for venue, clothes, food for several hundred people, they would have bought Kimberly’s and the whole family’s outfits. Hers would have been around $500-1000. Then the family also gives cash envelopes and gifts to relatives. It’s madness and it adds up quickly.
my uncle and aunt (USD multi-millionaires) spent $100k on their daughter’s wedding. and that was 2007. There is no upper limit.
I’m not surprised. US weddings are expensive but Indian weddings seem so much more extra plus it’s like 3 days of celebrations. When you factor in the exchange rate, that price tag checks out.
So they pay their guests to attend?
Of course not. It’s a happy occasion. So you give a few close relatives and nieces and nephews some cash as a token of your gratitude and as a thank you for all the help. It’ll be like maybe 10-15 people. They would come regardless of the money or not.
damn, i wish people just handed me cash at happy get togethers - my family just gives out generational trauma lmao
There’s 100% generational trauma here if that makes you feel better haha!
I’m just trying to get an invite to an Indian wedding. It looks absolutely beautiful.
The wedding was spectacular & Kim acted a little better after TJ started explaining things. But I just kept thinking it was an elaborate ruse to make Kim their Cinderella!
Can’t wait for her to find out she has to get up at 4am to make the chai.
Unfortunately, I’ve never been invited to a wedding in India. But friends have alluded to them being hugely attended events. Hundreds and hundreds of guests which of course drives up the cost. From what we were shown, there looked to be about 20 people at this wedding. Don’t know if that was a production thing or a real thing. Point being, it wouldn’t be as pricey as usual.
No way that shit was cheap lol
I was wondering the same thing. It couldn’t have been cheap but it also couldn’t be so expensive that they couldn’t afford it unless they took out a loan. I believe the grooms family has to pay.
I would say 6-8 max. Depending on your currency it more thank likely goes far. My dads from india. The weddings there are so extravagant and EVERYONE is invited. All of my cousins I’m the west have flown to India to get their wedding outfits. Super fun but also exhausting. I’ve been trying to convince my partner we should get married there but— no dice. Hes super worried about our guests getting Delhi belly which is a legit concern.
Don’t drink the water…… or use ANY ice unless you are at 5 star Hotel. Staying away from salads/raw veggies is also good for first timers. We always thought “mutton” was lamb…… and I think it is in UK and down under. But in India? They told us “mutton” was young goat. It was a wee bit gamey for my tastes. Different strokes for different folks, eh? 😊🤷♀️
I was surprised (not that I know anything ) that Yash, Dad, and a few other relatives were wearing Western-style business suits rather than blingy traditional outfits.
4-6k?
Lol in kilos of gold?
Try high tens to hundreds of thousands. Especially once you calculate all the gold that is exchanged
I have no idea how much it cost, but I do wonder if they maybe agreed to use their TLC cheque to cover part of the wedding. Even though it’s in India, there’s no way that was inexpensive.
