My Big Bollywood Wedding (2017x14)

Air date: Jun 10, 2017

There are few ceremonies in the world that are as lavish or as vibrant as Indian weddings. And for Indian-Americans, the unions are just as extravagant here in the States, with an average cost of half a million dollars. Witness the big Bollywood marriages of three couples as they attempt to balance millennia-old traditions and modern American sensibilities. Then see how they celebrate their love and honor their families, without breaking their budgets.
