What is other words for “wedding”? [on hold]












0














As I said, I am not a native, so idioms are really hard for me to grasp. Some are almost the same with my mother-tongue, others... not so much. And even more difficult when my boss is so strict.



Thesaurus can only helped for so much. I need human help.



Please give me at least five more idioms for "Wedding" besides "tying the knot". Thank you before.

  • Do you mean another word for the ceremony (noun) wedding? Or another phrase meaning “to get married” like your “tie the knot”? If the latter, the thesaurus gives plenty of those: “get hitched” “take the plunge” “walk down the aisle” “get spliced” etc...

"Wedding" refers to the event itself - the ceremony, the party, the drunken fights. So that's your clue. Synonyms will be things like wedding ceremony, the big day, the big occasion, etc. I don't believe there are many other words for the actual wedding ceremony. As in, "This weekend, I'll be the best man at my brother's wedding." (There is both nuptials and marriage ceremony, but those are uncommon, and out of use.)



"Marriage" isn't a synonym because that's the relationship of the two people - a legal / social concept, not an event.

  • Ah hah - true! Interesting - it seems like it is has a more specific meaning there. I.e., "Does anyone oppose this marriage...?" That's very specifically the event, the creation of the new legal entity. Whereas the wedding is the whole party, food, and dancing ... and the actual marriage too.

  • Nah, I still disagree. :-) That sounds indeed like marriage ceremony, i.e., "The wedding will be split over two locations: It will start at the old Catholic church for the marriage ceremony and then finish at the pool hall for the reception."
