Mahrie-ah-juh

In an conversation today in which I had to explain the difference between a "wedding" and a "marriage."  (The French call a wedding a mariage.  Mahrie-ah-juh) 


This is what I came up with.  On the fly.  "A marriage is the commitment and time you spend with someone that you get married to.  The WEDDING is the ceremony that starts your marriage." 


I actually CAN teach English.  Really.
