Since every hindu couple is unlike any other, it makes sense that no hindu marriage will be exactly like any other. Many hindu couples today are planning their weddings to be unlike any other, making some adjustments to cater to modern sensibility while remaining respectful to and conscious of hindu culture and hindu religious beliefs. There are many elements of a traditional hindu marriage, including the outdoor ceremony, the mandap canopy, and the sacred fire, which many couples want to keep alive as the heart of the hindu marriage ritual.

In the traditional Hindu wedding, there is no place for 'love'. The Hindu rituals indicate that marriage is a sacred duty. To a Hindu love comes on a poor second when compared to duty. The Hindu rituals emphasize greatly on the sacredness of marriage. The bride, after marriage, not only joins the groom, but also his whole family, leaving her own parents forever.
