You can use ring which is not circle.Like a brocken ring and you can put it on your nose without piers it.It will look just like pierced.That's if it is like a ring.I don't know your traditions. Or you can glue to your nose only the visible part of the thing. nobody will know.

Some of my friends are Indians. I learned a lot about their culture and religion. I found that it is informal and disrespectful to get married without a nose piercing. It doesn't mean you need a nose piercing all your life. It is just rude not to have it on your wedding day. I may be wrong, but I think there is no alternative. Indian weddings are very complex, like Greek weddings, and must follow many rules, or it would be not traditional, or rude.
