These events are crucial milestones for individuals, creating lasting memories and acknowledging important life transitions. From a societal standpoint, celebrations are vital for strengthening social bonds and fostering a sense of community by bringing people together. They allow us to celebrate shared values and reinforce our connections. Therefore, despite the financial outlay, I believe the emotional and social value of these occasions makes them quite necessary, as they represent an investment in relationships and collective well-being.

These grand events also generate a lot of environmental waste from elaborate decorations.
