Wedding emerges from the intersection of marriage, which provides the context for understanding the union of two individuals, and ritual, which offers the framework for creating a meaningful and symbolic ceremony. Marriage enables the creation of a social bond, while ritual provides the structure for celebrating and commemorating this bond.
