Indian and American Wedding culture

There are a lot of similarities and differences between American and Indian weddings. First similarity is people get married in temples or churches. Like wise in American weddings also mostly made in churches. Second the both bride and bridegroom's family members,friends and their relatives attending their wedding in both countries. The marriage is the most important than any other occasion in both countries.
We can see differences also in both wedding's in U.S.A and India. First we can see the difference is choosing life partners. In India all most marriages are arranged by their parents. Here in America choice is given to them. No dating in India. Here dating is must before they are getting married. Second is, in India there is dowry system , the bride groom's parents demands lot of dowry from the bride's parents. Here no dowry. Third difference is, In India bride wears sary for wedding. The cost is lesser than American wedding gown. Here in U.S.A bride wears wedding gown. We can see lot of similarities and differences between American and Indian weddings.

Hi Sivarao,
it is very interesting, about the marriage in your country. When my parents got married it was the costum of giving the dowry by the bride's parents, too. But now it got changed and I think it is better.
Now, about your writing. In essence, the paragraph is good. You have some mistakes of spelling, and some sentences unfinished or with no understandin.
For example, the first sentence is unclear. I didn't quit understand it. The second sentence is unclear, too. Then, the sentence which starts "The bride and bride ...." is not finished, the verb is missing.
Spelling: -"I" has to be always capitalise ;
-I think bride's groom;
-lot of differences
-allmost
-second
-third

In addition, I want to give you some more advices, you don't have examples between these two cultures in marriage.
Also, you may have to write some transitions, and use some comparatives.
