Marriage is a union of two souls. A girl who spent memorable days with her parents has to make the biggest sacrifice of her life for her husband. After the marriage her “gotra” also changes. Before the commencement of “Saptapadi” ceremony bridegroom has to make the 10 promises to make sure the parents of girl that after the marriage their most precious gift of god would be in safe hands. Bridegroom makes the following 10 promises before the ceremony.
1)look after her like himself
2)Always consult her before making any decision
3)He will never show unhappiness on her failure to perform duties
4)will have full faith in spouse
5)To give all affection and love
6)To bring all income to home

So, instead of celebrating marriage ceremony, husband should refresh his promises made by him in front of Agni.The more he remembers his promises, the more godeess "Mahalaxmi" resides at his place.

Parents applies tremendous efforts on match making of horoscopes but rarely found interested in the muhurat of marriage, which holds the ultimate key. At the time of marriage , the most important ceremony is “SaptaPadi” which means seven steps. In this ceremony, the bride and groom take seven round around the pavitra agni. Even as per Hindu marriage act it is the saptapadi ceremony which grants legality to a marriage. This ceremony begins from the direction of Dhruv Tara(the Pole Star). Every round starts with the right foot first. In the first 4 rounds the groom leads the bride and in the last 3 rounds bride leads. With each step, groom recites a mantra addressed to bride.
