How do you get married?

What’s the difference between a “marriage” and a “wedding”?

Marriage is legally changing your relationship status and entering into a “union of two people, to the exclusion of all others, voluntarily entered into for life.” A wedding, is the ritual or celebration that has traditionally accompanied the act of marriage. So, if you want to get technical, you can get married without a wedding.
