gavra: If you don’t want to give tzedaka, no one’s putting a gun to your head and forcing you. Don’t begrudge other Yidden who are benevolent and charitable and desire to give their Jewish brothers money to make a respectable wedding, even if you think something more than a backyard turkey dinner is lavish. If someone else wants to give another Jew money to make a fancier wedding and support their child’s living arrangements, don’t begrudge or complain about him giving. He’s giving his own money not your money.
