Okaz reports growing calls for simpler weddings.

The point isn't just to cut the bill. People interviewed by Okaz say a run of weddings, especially during holidays, can also eat into time for travel and rest; big guest lists bring more costs and social obligations. They see a smaller family gathering as a way to share the couple's joy and bring both families together without treating a packed room or grand venue as proof of a successful wedding. It can give families more room to choose a time and place that fit their circumstances, and leave more attention and money for the couple's future, interviewees say. Okaz reports growing calls for these celebrations to be more socially accepted.
