The word "wed" is not found in the entire Genesis to Revelation HOLY BIBLE.
The word "wedding" questionably occurs only once in the Old Testament, and even then it appears to be a peculiarity of both the Revised Standard Version and it's companion, the English Standard Version:
In Song 3:11, the correct word apparently is espousals or marriage - but NOT "wedding."
In the New Testament, the word "wedding" and "wedding" guests is - again - questionably found as an oddity of ONLY certain versions:
What this means is that the state of marriage is obviously a Biblical term, as is the word marry....but the ceremonial aspect of matrimonial initiation and/or celebration which is now typically described as synonymous with a "wedding" is not a Scriptural concept. Indeed, the State (i.e. civil government) does NOT issue Wedding Licenses but instead Marriage Licenses for State-apportioned (and civil/human-rites-controlled and restricted) marriages of legal respectable heterosexual and illegal disreputable and disgusting homosexual types.
Concordantly, pastors and ship captains who officiate marriages (NOT "weddings") - whenever pastors or ship captains do officiate) - do not officiate divorces, nor does the State recognize divorce celebrations.
The phenomenon of weddinglessness is congruent with the vast majority of accounts of spouse and concubine acquisition of patriarchs of the Old Testament, in particular.
Throughout the Word of God, NO "weddings" are mentioned per se to initiate marriages in terms of husband-wife or husband-concubine acquisitions and inceptions. Women were given to men as wives by prospective fathers-in-law and parents, or women were simply taken by men with no "weddings" per se mentioned or (apparently) occurring. Even in the history of the United States, the State did not issue either wedding nor marriage licenses until recent years.
This is especially important nowadays in the establishment and acknowledgment of concubine marriages involving non-certified non-State-registered Common-Law covenants and consentual private-marital contracts. Celebrations, whether within a church or some other marriage (not "wedding") reception building or place....can occur - but they do not NECESSARILY have to occur in a large or small public gathering approving/disapproving or acknowledging/not-acknowledging the new marriage.
For non-affluent newly-married (NOT newly-"wed") couples, and their would-pay-for-it-all parents, such absence of horrendous lavish "wedding" expenses would and does GREATLY facilitate more people getting married (even as concubines) and fewer people committing non-marital live-in or masseuse/escort fornication and assaultive rape because of limited finances.
