In India, with many celebrities getting married, it can officially be called the wedding season. Social media is flooded with the Big Fat Indian Wedding pictures and it's maddening. Looking at these pictures, it's a given that people have no problem in spending all their hard-earned money into a 4-day-affair to entertain their guests. So, are these grand weddings and the hype around them all about the social pressure of a pompous wedding or is this just another one of the many paradoxes of India? We, on this week's episode of 'We The People' ask, "Is there really a need for this extravaganza? Are the simple 'private weddings' too old school? Or is this cattle race now considered as 'following the trend'?"
