Wedding
Nuptial is the
adjective of "wedding". It is used for example in
zoology to denote plumage, coloration, behavior, etc related to or occurring in the
mating season. A wedding is a
ceremony that celebrates the beginning of a
marriage or
civil union.
Wedding traditions and customs vary greatly between
cultures,
ethnic groups,
religions,
countries, and
social classes. In some countries, cultures and religions, the actual act of marriage begins during the wedding ceremony. In others, the legal act of marriage occurs at the time of signing a
marriage license or other legal document, and the wedding is then an opportunity to perform a traditional ceremony and celebrate with friends and family. A woman taking part in the ceremony is called a
bride, a man called a
bridegroom, after the ceremony they become a
wife and a
husband, respectively.
