I never thought of this question.
I guess I'd define it as a public ceremony where you show the world you are in a committed relationship.
It's a ceremony where your family and friends can rejoice with you over your commitment to your partner. They also get to see you verbalize your commitment.
The church considers it also a ceremony where the church blesses your commitment to each other.

It is a recognition of the Christian belief that marriage was instituted by God, and is a celebration of the relationship between a man and a woman. It's a relationship that mirrors the love that Christ has for the Church, and an illustration of how our God loves us.

So in the eyes of the one true god you and your partner become one.
