Rs. 
Marriage is grand occasion in a family wherein you would want to do your best to match your living standards /class and expectations from you. Marriage costs in India can know no limits and most people often spend 20-40% more than what they had earlier accounted for. Typical costs involved are costumes, jewelery, gifts & demands, catering, venue, traveling, invitations, events, decoration, entertainment and so on. A decent middle class marriage would typically cost anywhere between 10 to 20 lacs at the lower end.
Estimated Increase in your Savings :
Yearly This represents the actual increase in your savings on a year-on-year basis in percentage terms. Usually our savings do not rise as fast as our income since we also tend to spend more, buy more assets, etc. We should assume much lower rate (say 0% to 2%) to be on a safer side.

Yearly

Different asset classes can deliver varying levels of returns for any given investment horizon. The following matrix can help you with the same

Debt Asset Class - Between 7% to 9%.
Ideal investment horizon is very short to medium term (few months to say 5 years)

Equity Asset Class - Between 10% to 15%.
Ideal investment horizon is long to very long term (say over 5 years)

You may partly invest in both to get an appropriate asset allocation for your investment horizon.
Expected Rate of Inflation :
Yearly Inflation is generally inferred from the measure of CPI released by the government agencies. However, this figure is more about representing the price rise in the basket of goods and services used in consumption than the inflation in marriage costs. We should assume a higher rate of inflation (at least 2 to 5% higher) for marriage costs, considering its nature and also adjusting for the gradual rise in your living standards.
