Not an investment but one option is to look for short-term traded endowment policies with projected IRR around 4% . However you have to seek advice from a financial advisor if this instrument is suitable for your marriage and/or house.

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.

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.
