Usage Note :

Do not confuse wedding and marriage. A wedding is a ceremony in which a man and woman get married. It usually includes a meal or other celebration that takes place after the ceremony itself. It wasn't a formal wedding. This ceremony can also be called a marriage. ...the day of my marriage. Marriage can also be used to refer to the relationship between a husband and wife. It has been a happy marriage.

不要混淆 wedding 和 marriage。wedding 指婚礼,通常包括结婚仪式之后的婚宴或其他庆祝活动:It wasn't a formal wedding (那不是个正式的婚礼)。这一仪式也可称为 marriage:the day of my marriage (我结婚那天)。marriage还可用于指婚姻生活:It has been a happy marriage (那是桩幸福美满的婚姻)。
