I think there is also another word for wedding : 3rs

Is there a difference in meaning between 3rs and zwaj ?

#6

No difference between the both words… The same meanin’.
U’re progressin’ lise… and thanks for helpin’ !!

Thank you lise . . . Dafir, you say there’s no difference between the words, but I wondered if there’s a similar differentiation between ‘to be married/wed’ and the actual wedding day? In England we might say we attend a wedding but we might not witness the actual marriage ceremony - just go to the reception/party afterwards. Knowing that zwaj is very similar to the verb ‘to marry’, would this be used only for the official act of marrying or for the whole wedding day? Hope that makes sense?!
