Ganesha, the elephant headed God was married to Siddhi and Riddhi. He had two sons - Subh (one who is auspicious) and Labh (means who brings profit or merit). He had a daughter Santoshi who was created by Ganesha on the day of Raksha Bandan when his sons requested for a sister.
Here is an interesting story of how Ganesha got married.
Lord Ganesha had an unusual elephant head. In fact no girl was willing to marry him. This enraged him, and he began huddling the marriages of Demigods.
Ganesha asked his mouse friends to dig holes in path to hitch the ceremonial proceeds. Thus it became difficult for the wedding attendants to move through the way to the bride’s house. The Demigods were aware that it was Ganesha's mischief. They were troubled by this frequent antics and went to Lord Brahma seeking relief.
Brahma who holds the power of creation, created two beautiful vitreous woman named - Riddhi (one who holds wealth and prosperity) and Siddhi (one who had intellectual and spiritual powers) to match with Ganesha's traits and merits.
Brahma married Riddhi Siddhi to Ganesha in a grand marriage ceremony. Riddhi and Siddhi became Ganesha's wives and they had two sons - Subh and Kabh (respectively)
