the difference

Lately I've been bothered by the fact that 'people' do not seem to know the difference between the words "marriage" and "wedding"...

If this is you, I'm sorry ! ;)

"Please attend my marriage"....grrr !

The wedding is the ceremony. The marriage is the life the couple leads afterwards.
