Those of you who come from non–South Asian backgrounds may be wondering what to expect at an Indian wedding. Even if you've attended a ceremony in the past, consider that with upward of 30 distinct cultures within the continent, no two Indian weddings will be exactly the same.
An Astrology-Approved Date and Time

A pandit (also spelled pundit), is a Hindu priest who will preside over the ceremony and consult astrology to determine the most auspicious date and time for that ceremony to take place.
Multiple Days of Events
The actual nuptial ceremony and reception, similar to what a Western wedding encompasses, take place on the third day after two days of more intimate events (such as the tilak ceremony, the haldi (or pithi) ceremony, the mehndi party, and the sangeet) that are only attended by close friends and family members.
Lots of Red
Red is considered auspicious and, not surprisingly, it is the most prominent color at Indian weddings—usually with gold accents. "Saris, flowers, decorations, invitations—everything will be red,"
All the People
"Oh, we've only talked once? Great! You're invited to my wedding," jokes Shah. "That's just how it is. We invite everyone. That's why these weddings turn out so huge!"
In short indian wedding can't be described in words...
It's completely a new long festival to celebrate.
