Depends if it is a Christian Wedding or a Hindu.

Mallus love things in gold ...even if it is very small!

If its not too traditional (if its in Doha it wouldnt be) you can even gift him/her a box of chocolate nicely wraped or a boquet of flowers.

Usually the boy & the girl will not be present together. It is consider unauspicious for the girl & boy to meet just before marriage ;)

The function usually have a part where the boy/girl is given a pinch of sweet (sugar/cake etc) after asking "Should we give the boy/girl sweet?" - 3 times and every body cheers "yes" 3 times.

There could be some games ....singing song, teasing the boy/girl etc.

Then it would be eating time...mostly buffet!
