Both have a betrothal at the beginning, then marriage, then honeymoon, then children, then discords. Are they not similar? :)
But then, there are differences. Most of the time marriages among hindus would be arranged by the family (of course, the bride and the groom express their wishes and that can change the family decision). A Hindu marriage is not just for the bride and groom, but it is a coming together of two 'extended' families. It is expected to last a life-time, divorce rate here is as low as 1%.
They are really complicated and very long. there is a man who says these words and tells the couple who are getting married. a part is when the couple have to go 7 times around a in a circle and by the way there is a little fire which they circle. Afterwards they do some funny activities. E.G find the ring in a bowl of milk, whoever finds it first wins and there are lots more.

Catholic weddings typically have organ music, and it is scarce. Christian weddings, depending on the church, could have lots of gospel music. Christian weddings don't follow a strict procedure, like catholic weddings. Anything goes - music, prayer, etc.
A Christian wedding is more lavish than a Buddhist wedding which is more hu,ble than a Christian wedding and they have lots of fun when being married :)
Hindu weddings take place generally at an open space under a decorated canopy called mandap.
