The wedding is about two teams, the bride side and the groom side. Adding a little spice to it with fun competitions is a great idea. Have a dance competition or a Karaoke. Make teams asking the couples each other's favorites or habits. The teams can also be boys vs. girls and they can have a turban tying or sari draping race and similar fun ideas.

Young Vs Old
Making the old couples dance on the latest dance songs which have about five different steps in a minute while making the young couple dance on the old songs in which one can hardly think of any modern dance step is a new twist. However, the old songs are all about the lyrics while the new songs, ignite the long forgotten capabilities by the oldies.
