Misschien is \'huwelijksfeest\' wel de beste vertaling, dan heb je gelijk alles.

agree  naesenk: Ik vind 'huwelijk' de beste vertaling - misschien als er een beetje meer context was dat er geen zo'n verwarring zou zijn over huwelijk, huwelijksfeest, ceremonie, etc.

trouwerij, huwelijksplechtigheid, bruiloft


Explanation:
huwelijk = is verkeerd! Huwelijk is ook het getrouwd zijn. 'Wedding' heeft alles met de ceremonie en de festiviteiten te maken.

Bruiloft zou ik hier niet gebruiken omdat dit in het NL ook nog de betekenis heeft van jubileum(het Engelse 'wedding anniversary').

Dus 'wedding' zou ik als trouwerij vertalen. Of als huwelijksfeest.

disagree  Ann VDP: 'Trouwerij' klinkt me als dialect in de oren - wordt uitsluitend in NL gebruikt, nooit in Vlaanderen - bij huwelijksplechtigheid vergeet je het bijbehorende feest
