Marriage is a way of life. It begins from the day a man and a woman are properly joined together by a constitut authority to live together as husband and wife. It involves all the intricacies of love, oneness, taking care of , building a family and other joint activities expected from a family.

A wedding is just a ceremony. It would be properly referred to as a wedding party. It is just a ceremony built around the ceremony at which a man and a woman are joined together to become husband and wife by a constituted authority. Relatives, friends and even strangers can actively participate in the planning and execution of a wedding party.
From these we can infer that it is better to have a grand plan for marriage and manage at the wedding party than to do otherwise. After the wedding party in most cases, the couple will literally be "on their own". The friends, family, well-wishers and other groups will retract and leave the new family to its own devices.
