Wedding in Hindu

Marriage, according to Vedic scriptures, is essentially a pledged union of a man and a woman with the intent to follow the path of Dharma or righteousness. "Vivaaha", in Sanskrit, means ‘to support and sustain.’ The significance of a Vedic marriage ceremony is to remind the couple to live righteously according to the codes of conduct to support and sustain Dharma. The Vedic scriptures specify the path of ‘Grahasthaasrama’ (married life) as one of the four prescribed means, probably the most important one, for realizing the Supreme in oneself by living a normal and simple life with total support from the spouse.
Vedic marriage is solemnized in the presence of Lord Supreme, the Invisible, as represented by the cognizable (five) fundamental elements of Nature, i.e., Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Ether.
