I don't know how he does it, he ends up paying $4-5k for each trip for his family and it's often a distant cousin. Toronto, Singapore, Mexico. Two - three of these per year and he makes like $55k/yr. It's insane to me, but he said that's their culture, someone announces a wedding and everyone even remotely connected to the bride and groom drops everything and books the trip and turns it into a larger than life event.
I went to a birthday party for a one year old Indian boy and there were more people there, and it was a bigger production than any wedding I’ve been to. It was amazing.
