All praise is due only to Allaah. We laud Him and beseech His

People complain about every little thing. 
In 
trying to please people you had actually achieved the opposite. 
In the end all this only spells problems and darkness for the 
marriage. 
Whereas when one does things in accordance to the Sunnat, 
then Allaah Ta`ala and His Nabi (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) 
become pleased, which results in only blessings and good 
fortune for the future of the marriage. 
Further advice 
The groom and all others in the home should be well aware of 
the fact that in accordance to the natural disposition of man and

regarding it. As for the Walimah, it is Sunnat. It is not Fardh or 
Waajib. There is absolutely no necessity for meat and bread or 
biryaani to be served at a Walimah. It is merely a little occasion 
where one would invite a handful of close friends and family. 
There is absolutely no need to have a big function and to take 
out a loan to host many guests. This, in fact, is impermissible.
