The study of nuptiality ¹ deals with the frequency of marriages ² i.e. of unions ³ between persons of opposite sexes which involve rights and obligations fixed by law or custom; with the characteristics of persons united in marriage; and with the dissolution of such unions. By extension, it also includes the study of other conjugal unions (503-8) where their frequency makes their inclusion necessary. A marriage ⁴ or wedding ⁴ is the ceremony, prescribed by law or custom, which establishes such a union between a man and a woman as spouses ⁵, i.e. husband ⁶ and wife ⁷. The spouses jointly are called a married couple ⁸.

4. Marriage, n. - marry, v. - married, adj. - marriageable, adj.: capable of contracting a marriage.
6. A man at, or soon before or after his marriage, is a bridegroom (abbreviation: groom).
7. A woman at, or soon before or after her marriage, is a bride.
