He explained that «the simple wedding is more intimate, because it brings together those close to the newlyweds, who care for their joy and happiness and do not care about formalities or appearances, and that this type of wedding raises from the groom a great financial pressure that may follow him for years, and be a reason in the absence of happiness and stability from the life of his family ».

The newlyweds:
"Pursuing appearances with the high costs of wedding is stressing emerging families."
