wedding / wed
A wedding is a marriage ceremony which is held in church or a registry office and also includes the party or special meal which follows the ceremony. All of this usually happens on your wedding day.
There are a number of other wedding compounds that are associated with wedding day:
The newlyweds had told everybody that they wanted no wedding presents as they were emigrating to Australia.
The predominant colour at Sophie's wedding was creamy white. Her wedding dress was this colour and the icing on the three-tier wedding cake was this colour too.
Is it true that in Britain you wear your wedding ring on the third finger of your left hand?
A silver wedding is celebrated after 25 years of marriage and a golden wedding after 50 years.
If you wed someone, you marry them, but wed is not used very much nowadays as a verb as it is rather old-fashioned. It can sound quite effective however, because it is unusual. Sometimes it has a poetic ring to it:
We got wed soon after the baby was born.
I shall never wed as I like to be independent.
marriage / marry / get married
Marriage describes the relationship between husband and wife or the state of being married:
They enjoyed a long and happy marriage.
Most marriages these days do not last.
The bride's parents did not approve of Victoria's marriage to George.
If you marry someone, that person becomes your husband or wife and we use the verb marry in preference to wed normally.
However, even more usual than marry is get married. This use of get with a past participle is a very common structure in contemporary English and is used across a range of common expressions. It has the same sort of force as reflexive verbs have in other languages. Thus in English we would say: Don't get lost! NOT Don't lose yourselves! Consider the following:
I married the man next door / I got married to the man next door.
They didn't get dressed until two o'clock in the afternoon.
I didn't bother to get washed as I knew I would be working on the farm.
Remember, it's a big dark wood. Be careful not to get lost.
We had known each other for fifteen years before we got engaged.
I never get invited to Sarah's parties.
We got married on 10 June, but by the beginning of the autumn both of us knew that the marriage would not last and that sooner or later we would have to get a divorce / get divorced.
Interestingly, although we can say they married and they divorced as an alternative to they got married and they got divorced, we cannot say: they engaged. Here, only they got engaged is possible.

Difference between wedding and marriage
Each person and culture has its own traditions, celebrates various ceremonies or practice different rituals; however, there are some points where all or nearly all agree, weddings and marriages being two such aspects to highlight in the lives of many.
If you think we're redounding when we talk about weddings and marriages, you have to know that you're wrong, because they are different ceremonies despite being closely related.
If you have any questions or want to know more about the difference between marriage and wedding, read on, because then you explain it.
Marriage
Marriage is one of the most important rituals can be performed within a society. It consists of religious or legal union of two people who agree that type of intimate relationship between them, though there are cultures in which those who contract do not necessarily agree that relationship; but on family or cultural issues are obliged to do so.
Marriage usually takes place between a man and a woman, but there are societies that permit same - sex and it is supposed to be some kind of deal between two people who share an emotional bond.
Marriage always appears associated with emotions and feelings of people, why in some societies are even family managers to fix it, almost always the decision to take a spouse is left to each individual option.
Wedding
Moreover, the wedding refers to the act, ceremony or celebration in which two people decide to join in marriage; so you can say that there is no marriage without marriage, but somehow it can be married without wedding.

Wedding refers to the specific ceremony that join two people in marriage and we can also say that wedding is collective name used for all the ceremonies and rituals to give social acceptance to the relationship. And marriage refers to the long term sharing of two lives, which starts after the wedding.

Wedding, as in to be wed, is for the action of doing so. Marriage is the result of said wedding.

a wedding is the ceremony where the marriage is performed, although you can get legally married without having a wedding. Marriage is a legal state.

A wedding is an event celebrating the union of man and woman. Marriage is the actual union of man and woman.
