Elaborate engagement ceremony is the simplest solution (and is also what we actually did).

(keep a prominent sign with "BETROTHAL" or "ENGAGEMENT" visible, and take photos of it--it is EXCELLENT evidence for the petition).

All of our India-based relatives (plus my dad, who actually travelled to India from Calgary for this) but one (Pras' dad) supported the idea.

Oh, you mean doing a registered wedding here and ceremonial later in India.

Probably OK, but can mean a long gap between registered and religious weddings.

Yes, of course you can do the wedding in India after receiving the AP. I haven't really studied the timelines but I think AP might take 2-3 months to come... and it probably will take at least a month or two after arriving in USA to get SSN, get married and file AOS/AP. So Indian wedding might be possible only 4-5 months or more after arriving in USA.
