As long as they get a certified marriage certificate.
The ceremony of the wedding doesn't have anything to do with the legality of the marriage. The government of the United States of America have no say in what someone can do for a marriage ceremony. As long as you have/get a certified marriage certificate, you're fine.
The U.S. dosen't really have a choice in "accepting" a Hindu marriage ceremony. All the government cares about is if you have the certificate.

You have to compromise. It's his wedding, too, and you two shouldn't have a big wedding if both of you don't want it. Plus, a HUGE wedding is a lot different than convincing him to have 100 guests ... pushing him into a huge wedding if he only wanted to go to Vegas really isn't fair. You might have more luck if you agree to scale it back a bit, maybe to 100-200 people. And wanting a huge wedding just so you can be the "center of attention" also isn't fair to him ... nor is it very mature. Talk about it together and make separate lists of what you both want for your wedding ... location, budget, formality, number of guests, time of year, etc. Then compare the lists and see if there's anything in common (don't argue over differences right away because you will get nowhere). If you have some ideas in common, use those as a starting point. Meet in the middle with everything else. Maybe you will agree to a beach wedding if he will agree to having a certain number of guests. It sounds like you just want it to be 100% your way. Marriage is about compromise, and if you can't figure that out now then you're probably in for a very hard road.

There must be an officiant who has legal standing. Can't do a do-it-yourself thing.
For instance, some pagan ceremonies involve jumping over a broom. You can certainly do that, but you need a pagan minister to sign off on it. However, for some groups, they have a civil ceremony by a judge or Justice of the Peace and then celebrate in their traditional method as they don't have a minister or other party who has official capacity.

Only if there is an "official" certificate to authenticate the marriage.

So long as they acquire a marriage license like everyone else, or live together for ...what is it now? six months? (Used to be 7 years)
