A bride, wearing gold ornaments, sits before taking her marriage vows during a mass wedding ceremony on the occasion of Hindu festival of Askhay Tritiya in the western Indian city of Ahmedabad in this May 16, 2010 file photo. Blame poor rains or a lack of weddings, but Indians, for whom gold is the investment of choice, aren't rushing to buy bullion after this week's sharp sell-off. India and China are the world's top gold buyers and, after massive selling on the Shanghai Gold Exchange on Monday helped drive down gold prices by 4 percent to a 5-year low, traders hoped demand would perk up in India, or elsewhere in Asia.
