Tent weddings can be as cheap as about 30,000. The price would be 180 if you want crystal chandeliers inside (I've seen some!) and hotel catering and professional film crews to record the event, and live bands and 1,000 guests...
This is the real problem with the costs of weddings. Everyone agrees that they are too expensive and unaffordable, but people keep paying anyway because they can't be seen to be "too poor" not to be able to afford a fancy event. Even middle class people find themselves pressured to spend 200,000 just on the flowers for the women's wedding, even though they really can't afford it. But to not have a wedding as fancy as their cousin's will bring some sort of 'shame' and embarrassment by admitting you can't afford it.
That's rubbish about tents costing 180,000.
