i mean some thing like ( to walk down the isle ) for merriage and ( kick the bucket) for death

For death, I always enjoyed "gone to a better place"
other euphemisms include:
met his Maker
achieved eternal rest
joined the Great Majority
passed on
left us
passed
bit the bullet
bit the dust
ate dirt [also, ate sand]
completed life's journey
rest with God
and on and on - we feel uncomfortable discussing or even mentioning death but
"it is death that we achieve eternal life"

Marriage was a bit harder, one I know is "taking the plunge".

some men say that they are going to a funeral and they mean wedding...is that what you mean or do you mean something like "ball and chain" referring to the wife?
