Let's see, as I remember it:
The bride wears a "dress" that weighs 25 kg.
The groom wears a necklace of money. He gets his shoes stolen by the sisters in-law to be, and has to pay a ransom for them.
All cousins stand guard at the entrance to stop wedding crashers, but there is still a lot of confusion as they simply fail to keep track on 500 people.
And everything is extremely overwhelming.
This is the Sikh version, I can imagine that the traditions in India vary about as much as over the whole of Europe.

This is general North Indian wedding. Not the Sikh version. I am not sure if you experienced it in India as Sikh weddings are very different.
Yes, I will have all of that and more. It will be a 4 day affair and I need to pay for accommodation, food and every other need. I wish we had Western culture here when it comes to wedding.

Quote: I wish we had Western culture here when it comes to wedding
My "Western Culture" wedding had 150 guests, the bride also wore a gown weighing a ton, with a train and veils about a mile long. Ok, so I exaggerated the dress a bit, but that's what it seemed like. The whole thing cost around $39,000 and took a year to organise. We had guests coming in from England, France, Germany, Italy and Australia so it took some planning. My idiot half-brother kept changing his availability and we re-scheduled twice because of him. Eventually we got fed up of rearranging things around my his needs, had him shot (in my mind), and went ahead without him. It was great apart from the DJ at the reception playing "Chicken Dance" and arranging line-dancing, which we had specifically forbidden. He did it while we were seeing off some elderly guests who had to leave and we were not in the ballroom - we only found out about it later when we saw the wedding video. We had the DJ shot as well (in my mind). Anyone know some good video editing software as I need to do some editing?
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

He's told me he's of Sikh origin, I might have misunderstood that.

Bottom 100 are invited. You ain't. And since they are lurkers or spammers, I do not care. 
Seriously though, come along.

I would be honored to attend just a spectacular and auspicious ceremony. However, I will probably have to decline as it's going to be difficult to justify the time to Herself... 
I'll let you enjoy the occasion with your closest 500 friends and family!

I am in a similar situation, though after 9 years together and 3 kids there's no hurry. I keep telling her I want to be married but I don't really want to have a wedding. It seems this is a difficult concept for her.

Does it even involve her?

Of course!
She's smiled at him three times, and said "Hi" twice, so she must know what's coming.

I asked an old friend of mine one time how him and his wife had lasted so long and his response was; "choose your battles carefully".

Survival instinct. You'll learn. 
Once you lose your pride the rest is easy.
I would agree with you but then we both would be wrong.

Nice little double entendre there; perhaps the KSs won't notice. ![Badger | [badger,badger,badger,badger...]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/badger.gif)

Everything will be alright. As long as the wife and girlfriends don't find out about each other.

You know, marriage is not mandatory!!!
It should be a very bad base for a life spend with her...

I am not serious. Just playing along with general consensus that husbands have to be scared of wives.

I hoped for that
