If you going to use the money for wedding or housing needs within the next 5 years, the best thing you can do is not to take too much risk with those monies. Maximize high interest saving accounts first, and then put the rest in a FD or a short duration endowment plan (those last 2 or 3 years, depending) and continue to save up over time. You can also consider Money Market Funds and maybe short duration bond funds, as you can do DCA over time.
I won't recommend equities as there is a lot of risk involved and the market could crash right before you need to cash out, thus destroying your capital.
