We also had help from our parents, which is common in South Asian culture. For example, my mom paid $6,800 for the ceremony and food, and my husband Anil's parents paid $20,500 for the reception and food.

My mom got Anil a gold Kara, a bangle that signifies unbreakable commitment in Sikh culture, and Anil's parents got me a gold jewelry set.

His parents also paid for most of the stuff for the jaggo night, which they hosted at their house.
