Wa alaikum assalaam.

I think you are right for sure, Muslims have become so materialistic and hungry for money. Wealth is the trial (fitnah) for this ummah as our Holy Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa salaam) prophecised and it is very unfortunate we have fallen into this trap.

Holy Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa salaam) always encourages less dowry and simple weddings, but today they are so extravagent, families especially from India have to make life savings just to get their children married. This is unfortunate situation.
