By all means get married. However, I don’t agree that the community has to pay for a mega wedding. When I was married 44 years ago, an average wedding had 200+ guests; a large wedding had 300. Parents didn’t go deep into debt. If a couple and their parents can’t afford to make a large wedding, then don’t! I’ve attended two weddings recently that were made in a shul and the dinner was in the Kiddush/shalos seudos room. They were very nice, laibe dik and did not bankrupt the parents.
