Dictionary of Problem Words and Expression
marriage & nuptials & wedding
Each of these words applies to
the ceremony of joining couples in a matrimony,
uniting them in wedlock.
Marriage is the most commonly used word;
it refers not only to the ceremony itself
but to the union of a couple as long as that union lasts:
“The proud parents recently announced the marriage of their daughter.”
“The Blakes’ marriage lasted for fifty years.”
Nuptials is a formal word usually applied to
a ceremony involving
persons of high social standing, wealth, or nobility:
“The royal nuptials of Elizabeth and Philip
were celebrated by millions of people.”
Wedding, a term applying only to the ceremony (unlike marriage)
has emotional and sentimental connotations:
“Her wedding was so beautiful that it had many guests in tears.”

SYNONYM STUDY FOR MARRIAGE
Marriage, wedding, nuptials
are terms for the ceremony uniting couples in wedlock.
Marriage is the simple and usual term,
without implications as to circumstances
and without emotional connotations:
to announce the marriage of a daughter.
Wedding has rather strong emotional,
even sentimental, connotations,
and suggests the accompanying festivities,
whether elaborate or simple:
a beautiful wedding; a reception after the wedding.
Nuptials is a formal and lofty word
applied to the ceremony and attendant social events;
it does not have emotional connotations
but strongly implies surroundings characteristic
of wealth, rank, pomp, and grandeur:
royal nuptials.
It appears frequently on newspaper society pages
chiefly as a result of the attempt to avoid
continual repetition of marriage and wedding.

Word Story For MARRIAGE
Marriage has never had just one meaning.
Adjectives commonly used with the word
reveal the institution’s diversity,
among them traditional, religious, civil, arranged,
gay, plural, group, open, heterosexual,
common-law, interracial, same-sex,
polygamous, and monogamous .
And this diversity has been in evidence,
if not since the beginning of time,
at least since the beginning of marriage itself,
roughly some 4000 years ago.
Multiple wives, for example, proliferate in the Bible.
King Solomon famously had 700,
although most were apparently instruments of political alliance rather than participants in royal romance.
(For that, he had 300 concubines.)
Marriage can be sanctioned legally or religiously,
and typically confers upon married people a special legal status
with particular rights, benefits, and obligations.
Access to this special status has changed over time.
For example,
the U.S. Supreme Court
legalized interracial marriage as recently as 1967,
while same-sex marriage, which for some time had been banned
in many states or ignored in others,
was in 2015 ruled a constitutional right for all Americans.
Marriage as the union of one man and one woman
is the most common definition of the term
in the Western world today—this in spite of the
prevalence on the one hand of divorce
(enabling people to marry several different partners in sequence), and on the other,
of an increasing acceptance of same-sex marriage.
And as society becomes more inclusive,
it is likely that “equal protection under the law”
will be fully applied to same-sex couples.
In crafting definitions for a word
that represents an institution that is rapidly evolving,
the dictionary may well have to keep adding,
changing, and reordering senses,
splitting or combining them as the institution changes.
Inevitably,
those who want to preserve what they cherish as traditional values will resist new definitions,
while those who anticipate,
welcome, and fight for societal change will be impatient
when new definitions do not appear as quickly as they would wish.
But we should all remember that
while it is not the job of a dictionary to drive social change,
it is inevitable that it will reflect such change.

Usage of Marriage
The definition of the word marriage
—or, more accurately, the understanding
of what the institution of marriage properly consists of
—continues to be highly controversial.
This is not an issue to be resolved by dictionaries.
Ultimately,
the controversy involves cultural traditions, religious beliefs,
legal rulings, and ideas about fairness and basic human rights.
The principal point of dispute has to do with marriage
between two people of the same sex,
often referred to as same-sex marriage or gay marriage.
Same-sex marriages are now recognized by law
in a growing number of countries
and were legally validated throughout the U.S.
by the Supreme Court decision in Obergefell v. Hodges in 2015.
In many other parts of the world,
marriage continues to be allowed only between men and women.
The definition of marriage shown here
is intentionally broad enough to encompass the different
types of marriage that are currently recognized
in varying cultures, places, religions, and systems of law.

Marriage Story
Here's the etymological marriage story.
Broadly,
marriage implies the state of being united as spouses
in a consensual and contractual relationship
recognized by law.
The word is derived from Anglo-French marier,
meaning "to marry," which has Latin relations.
Other etyma of English words that mean "to marry"
are Latin nubere (etymologically wed to connubial, nubile, and nuptial) and Greek gameîn (linked to the chromosomal gamete
and the fecund noun combining form -gamy).
-Gamy has been married to multiple prefixes
to identify types of marriages.
Its unions include bigamy
(marriage with a person while still legally married to another),
digamy (a second marriage),
endogamy (marriage within a group),
exogamy (marriage outside a group),
hypergamy (marriage into a higher social group),
monogamy (marriage to one mate at a time), and polygamy (marriage to more than one mate at the same time).

Words of the Year 2015 Runner-up
Marriage
Our editor choice for the 2015 runner-up is a word
that refers to an age-old institution: marriage.
In June of that year the Supreme Court ruled that
same-sex couples can marry nationwide,
shifting the legal meaning of the word marriage itself
in many jurisdictions—and keeping the word in our top lookups.
The decision,
which was the culmination of
decades of litigation and activism,
set off jubilation and tearful embraces across the country,
the first same-sex marriages in several states,
and resistance — or at least stalling — in others.
It came against the backdrop of fast-moving changes
in public opinion, with polls indicating that
most Americans now approve of the unions.
— Adam Liptak, The New York Times, 26 June 2015
