As the poor people in India face price hike in flour, onions and other basic necessities, Indian weddings are getting bigger and extravagant.

In recent years, weddings in India have become more extravagant- expensive gifts accompany the invitations, flowers are imported, top chefs are flown in from New York or Tokyo and festivities spread across multiple cities. Now-a-days no wedding is complete without at least 3-different cuisines offered to guests. Â Another new trend is using helicopters for the bride and groom, instead of the traditional white horse or decorated coach. Fees for the helicopters start at about 2,000pounds. Wedding organizer, Neeti Bhargava said, "It's true that people waste a lot because there's a huge variety of dishes and they take a bit of everything to try it. There's a limit to the amount anyone can eat though."
