Shaadi goals updated: This couple bought a home over a big fat Indian wedding and honestly, that's smart

In a world of wedding functions spanning over days, designer outfits and 'log kya kahenge' energy, this couple just hit pause and we are loving it.

This heartwarming video that is going viral on social media, a couple is doing something which is refreshingly practical, and perhaps, this is why it is striking a chord with everyone. Instead of spending a tonne of money on a lavish wedding, they used that money to buy a house instead. And then, they got married inside it. Yes, inside their own new home. No massive venue, no over-the-top decor but just close family, simple rituals and a whole lot of meaning.

In this video shared on Instagram, a couple can be seen performing their wedding Pheras inside their newly purchased house. According to the groom's brother, the family made a conscious decision to skip expensive wedding celebrations and invest that money in property instead. The logic was simple - why burn savings on one day when you can secure your future for decades?

The caption on the video summed it up perfectly. "The couple skipped expensive wedding celebrations and instead used the saved money to buy a house. The couple then performed their wedding pheras inside their new home, choosing long-term security over a lavish wedding."

Well, that's the most practical decisions ever. With rising property prices, sky-high rents and living costs that don't chill, the choice is financially smart and emotionally mature. After all, marriage is not about wasting 10 years of hard-earned money, but about spending rest of the lives together and starting a family. Isn't this a smart move? To save money for the future and your own house instead of using all of it on one day.

• A house is an asset, not a one-day expense

While wedding money disappears after 48 hours, a home builds equity for decades. While one gives memories, the other gives security + memories.

• You skip the post-wedding financial stress

Starting you married life with some sort of financial security and shared EMIs is elite adulting, isn't it?

• Rising rents and property prices won't wait

With real estate costs shooting up, locking in a home early is actually future-proofing. Instead of paying rent, you will be paying EMIs for your own home.

• Memories for a lifetime

Imagine marrying in your own home! That hits different, right? It's not only intimate and personal but it is way more emotional than a stage you will never see again.

• The new definition of success

A 10-day wedding isn't the right kind of flex - it is stability, peace of mind and building a life together.



What is interesting is that this shift is not just limited to everyday couples. Even Bollywood celebrities are quietly rewriting wedding rules. Take Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor for example. They got married in April 2022 in an intimate ceremony at their Mumbai home called Vastu located at Pali Hill. There was no massive venue. No grand guest list. Just close family, traditional Punjabi rituals, and a balcony celebration that felt deeply personal.



For decades, Indian weddings have been about scale-bigger venues, bigger budgets and bigger expectations. But stories like this show a quiet shift happening especially among younger couples. This couple chose the latter, and got married in the very space that will now hold their everyday moments, fights, laughs and future milestones. No fancy stage. No spotlight. Just real life beginning where it truly matters. Shaadi goals? Officially updated.
