One of the most significant events in a person's life is their wedding. A wedding is regarded as one of the most important milestones in one's life in India. In reality, a big fat Indian wedding is seen as a fusion of age-old practises that have long been a part of the ceremonies, resulting in spectacular wedding celebrations. The kanyadaan ceremony, mangalsutra and sindoor ritual, doli, and other Indian wedding rituals include anything from brothers or dads leading the bride down the aisle to the kanyadaan ceremony.

The bride and groom, on the other hand, have adjusted various rituals and customs over the years, preferring to forego the more conventional ones. Celebrity weddings, which are typically the talk of the town, have been seen defying preconceptions and setting new examples for the next generation. Farhan Akhtar and Shibani Dandekar's recent wedding reflected this trend. While celebrity weddings continue to make headlines during the wedding season, we've rounded up 5 couples who defied the conventions of the traditional Indian ceremony.
