Gift received on account of marriage of an individual from any person - whether relative or non relative is tax exempt irrespective of its value. Please refer Sec 56 (2) (x) of the income tax act
Read sec 56(2) (x) here it is not blood relation. It is taxable.

Gifts received on the occasion of marriage by the newlywed couple are tax-exempt. The exemption is not limited to gifts received from relatives only. Therefore gifts received from friends or non-relatives on the occasion of marriage will also not be taxable in the hands of newlywed couple.
