Are you low on bank balance but love to showoff? Well, this is the perfect time for you to get married. ’Cuz you can flaunt within your budget and blame the rest on Narendra Modi or thank Modi, whichever one you prefer.

Confused? Don’t be, yaar.

Your dreams of having a big fat wedding, which were infested by the Karan Johars and Yash Chopras were overnight ‘bajaoed’ by Narendra Modi by demonetising Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 currency notes.

There might be a lot of people, who are cursing the Prime Minister for ruining their big day and also because now they can’t pay for that particular ‘Kareena Kapoor lehnga’ but there are a few people who couldn’t have asked for a better wedding gift from NaMo.

Believe it or not but this is your ‘achche din’.

Mitron, let us tell you how Modi is truly your BFF.

Goodbyes to Shaguns & Shaadi Gifts

You’ve questioned yourself and your family on why you must go shopping to buy a shaadi gift for your chacha’s beta’s baby? ’cuz bachche ki pehli shaadi hai. Shagun toh banta hai.’ Pat comes the reply.

So what, you still wonder? The child won’t even remember your wedding and all he/she would be doing on your big day is pooping the night away.

But now you probably can skip the whole shagun/gift business because... Tadaaaaa, Modi has squeezed out all the Rs 500 and 1,000 notes from your shaadi piggy bank.

So a few hundreds here and there is all you could shell out for your stingy relatives and off course, they’ll understand because this is desh bhakti.

Say Bye to the Ghore-wallah & the Banquet

If a big fat wedding is not your style than this is the best time to register yourself for a court marriage. And you don’t even have to convince your parents too hard for this or justify Pinky bhua for this step. But here come’s the best part, you don’t have to click photographs with strangers.

But do remember to invite a few people at least more than three to be your witness while you bite the shaadi ka ladoo.

Cut Down on Rituals

Dulhe ke saalio, this might not go down too well with you but chances are the ladke wallah might do away with the joota chupao ritual. ‘’Cuz joote toh de donge but paise kaise loge? Or ladki wallah might not serve alcohol on the wedding day. Kyunki, ae bill hai mushkil!

Jokes apart, cutting down on some wedding rituals might help you lighten the load and actually chill on your special day.

Now who doesn’t want to get married? Your life just got Modified!
