A hindu wedding involves many rituals that are carried out a few days before the wedding, on the wedding day and even after the wedding. While there are some rituals that involve a lot of fun and frolic, teasing and song and dance, there are others that are more religious in nature and need the intervention of a priest or a pundit who understands the Sanskrit shlokas and can recite them. The irony of the whole thing is that most Indian weddings become a mere formality because the chosen pundit mumbles the Sanskrit verses without really being audible. In fact, it almost seems as if the pundit is having a private conversation with the Gods.
