Hindi term or phrase: apna shadi
as per the website http://www.apnashadi.com
Geoff Knight
your/our own marriage bureau
Explanation:
The adjective 'apna' in Hindi means one's, one's own, etc. Since apnashadi.com is the name of a marriage bureau or portal, the prefix 'apna' here means 'your own' or 'our own' and the phrase 'apnashadi' means your/our own marriage bureau, portal or place (अपनाशादी डॉट कॉम).
However, in this context, it does not mean your/our or my own marriage.

agree  Balasubramaniam L.: Rawal sa'b, in Hindi for "your" the term used is आपका and the term for "ours" is हमारा. Here apna means mine or my. Since shadi is feminine noun, it actually should be apni. Rawal sa'b, after your explanation, I fully agree with your answer.

  -> बाला जी, यहाँ 'अपना' शब्द का संबंध 'शादी' से नहीं बल्कि 'शादी डॉट कॉम' से है, इसलिए यहाँ संज्ञा 'शादी' नहीं है. 'अपनाशादी डॉट कॉम' एक पोर्टल का नाम है और इस संदर्भ में उपसर्ग 'अपना' के निहितार्थ के रूप में दोनों अर्थ निकलते हैं, आपका अपना और हमारा अपना.
