wedding certificate


Explanation:
Marriage means the actual situation, which can last 1 day, or 60 years......., of being married

Wedding means the act of getting married, so the certificate refers to this happening.

neutral  Timothy Barton: Yes, but we say marriage certificate anyway, probably because it's certifying that you are married, not that you had a wedding.

neutral  Berni Armstrong: I think you mean that this could simply be "the wedding" don't you Etienne? Because if you do mean that. I would agree with you.
