celebration of marriage


Explanation:
Αυτή είναι η συνηθέστερη ορολογία που χρησιμοποιείται για να αποδώσει την τέλεση γάμου. Εφόσον το κείμενο είναι νομικό, αυτή είναι η καλύτερη επιλογή. (Και το solemnisation που γράφει η Krisztina είναι σωστό αλλά συνηθίζεται λιγότερο για να αποδώσει αυτό που εμείς λέμε "τέλεση γάμου".)

Βλ. ενδεικτικά:

Ωστόσο, εάν θέλουμε να το χρησιμοποιήσουμε ως ρήμα, μπορούμε απλώς να πούμε "were married in a church ceremony" (όπως γράφει και η Ellen).
