I'd reccommend using a razor to clean it up. Go over all the hair a few times, since it's so thick it won't completely shave the area but get rid of a lot of the hair. When done use condition to get rid of razor burn. I've always used soap or condition before shaving and i've never had any problems.
You can also use an electric razor if you're worried about discomfort.

Do not use hair removal cream. Many women end up with chemical burns on that sensitive area when using those types of creams. Some women are lucky and do not have a problem but some end up with infections or a trip to the emergency room.
You should actually see if you can find a place that does body waxing near you in India. You can start by asking around (especially asking in beauty salons) if there is a place that does body waxing. If you want a completely bare vaginal area you should ask for something called a complete brazilian wax at the waxing place. Waxing will help get all of the hair follicle out so when it begins regrowth the hair will be thinner and more sparse. You will have a good long time before you'll need to be waxed again. The professional can do this in a manner that you feel little-to-no pain and little-to-no discomfort after the procedure. It usually runs from $30 - $50 in US money here in the US, depending on how business is in the area where the waxing salon is located.
A razor tends to be your best bet if you cannot afford wax. The only problem is that many people end up with razor burn for some months when first starting to shave their pubic region. The skin is very, very sensitive so the scraping motion tends to irritate the skin very much. Razors are cheap but remember to always use a new one each time you shave. The hair will grow back in thicker and darker with shaving so you will have to shave frequently to keep maintained.
Remember to never ever use soap on your vagina. Soap can enter the vagina and cause very bad infections that you will need to see a doctor for treatment. Always wash your vagina with a clean rag and fresh water--no soap!
If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask me! :)
P.S. Congratulations on getting married soon!

In all honesty, it's much better for you to leave the hair there. It keep bacteria out of your vagina that can cause some nasty problems. I would recommend just trimming the sides with a razor but leave the hair that surrounds the opening as it is. When you're on your cycle, you might want to trim the length a little bit, but for the most part, it's safer and healthier to leave most of the hair as it is.
