Family matters kept private
Details about both families stay confidential.
You want fifty guests in California. They want a thousand in India.
Love Marriage Specialist in San Jose
The match has been accepted, which you once thought was the hard part. Now the argument is about the wedding itself. You picture a small ceremony in the Bay Area with close friends. Your parents picture three days in Coimbatore or Ludhiana, every relative, a hall booked a year ahead. Each side says the other is being unreasonable.

Whose wedding is it?
A couple in Sunnyvale tell their families they would like a simple ceremony. His father replies that he has attended four hundred weddings and given at each; this is the one occasion on which the family receives. Her mother says she has been saving jewellery for this day since her daughter was born.
For the couple, a wedding is a personal event and a large expense. For parents, it is a public statement, the repayment of a lifetime of social obligations, and often the proudest day of their lives. When the match itself was the child's choice, the wedding may be the only part parents feel is theirs.
A consultation helps you see what each side needs from the day and find a form that provides it. A muhurat can be considered if wished. We do not guarantee agreement.
Love marriage topics
What we look at before a love marriage
01
What the wedding means to parents
Standing, reciprocity, joy shown publicly. Worth honouring where you can.
02
What you cannot accept
Cost, debt, weeks away from work, rituals you find uncomfortable.
03
A split celebration
A ceremony in one place and a reception in the other is a common answer.
Describe both versions
The wedding you want and the one your parents want, with rough costs. The main service page describes the format.
How the consultation worksTypical obstacles
What stops couples in San Jose from marrying
01
"It is our day"
True, and they have waited for it for decades. Leave room for both.
02
Costs spiralling
Agree who pays for what, and a ceiling, before anything is booked.
03
Two families with different expectations
The parents should speak to each other, not through you.
POINTS FOR COUPLES
Keep these in mind
- Ask what is essential to each side
- Consider two events in two places
- Fix a budget and who pays
- Let parents host their part
For couples in San Jose
Give them the occasion, and keep what matters to you
Ask your parents which parts are essential to them. Often it is the main ritual, the presence of elders and one large meal. Tell them which parts are essential to you: perhaps the vows, the guest list for the ceremony itself, and not going into debt.
Then build from both lists. Many couples hold the religious wedding in India, largely as the parents wish, and a small celebration in California in their own style, or the reverse. Set a budget and state who bears it. Let your parents host what they pay for. A wedding in which they feel honoured is a good start to married life with them.
The session is online and can be joined from San Jose, with parents in India joining if you like. Each view is heard. Birth details are for a muhurat or matching only.
Love marriage FAQ
Questions couples ask about marrying for love
No. It is also understandable that your parents want a large one. Look for a form that serves both.
Say plainly that you do not want a marriage that begins with their debt, and propose a smaller scale.
Include the main rite from each. Priests are used to combining traditions.
A muhurat can be worked out from the charts if you wish. It must also suit travel and leave.
