Now coming to the Topic, I cannot but commend the exemplary deed by Abhay and Prreti. By drastically reducing their Marriage expenditure, they could save an amount of  3 lakhs. This amount was utilized  for donating to indebted Farmer Families.

Welcome. Go ahead. I appreciate you for such a good Article.  After seeing this example set by this young couple It's clear now marriages can be performed sans Fanfare and Glitz and Glamor.

Many young educated and more importantly evolved couple go in for simple marriages, often at the registrar's and a small reception for close family and friends. Even if they don't donate the money to others , they are saving expenditure for their parents and also funding their own future life ..

This is a young couple with most emancipated thoughts. Seeing the heavy expenditure involved in marriages and other functions spent  in India, every year, which was estimated to be over Rs. One Lakh crore, Abhay was startled and decided to end this meaningless expenditure.

 Another such incident that happened later, when Abhay met Pranab Mukherjee, our President, further strengthened Abhay's thought of ending this Social evil. When the president wished Abhay to become an agent of Socio- economic change, Abhay and Preeti were influenced by the President's message, and decided to bring a Social change by leading through example..

It is this bent of mind that led the couple to opt for a low profile wedding.
