A wedding is a ceremony where two people are united in marriage.

Wedding traditions and customs vary greatly between cultures, ethnic groups, religions, countries, and social classes.

Most wedding ceremonies involve an exchange of marriage vows by the couple, presentation of a gift (offering, ring(s), symbolic item, flowers, money), and a public proclamation of marriage by an authority figure.

Special wedding garments are often worn, and the ceremony is sometimes followed by a wedding reception.

Music, poetry, prayers or readings from religious texts or literature are also commonly incorporated into the ceremony.

Shorts are a garment worn by both men and women over their pelvic area, circling the waist and splitting to cover the upper part of the legs, sometimes extending down to the knees but not covering the entire length of the leg.

They are called "shorts" because they are a shortened version of trousers, which cover the entire leg.

Shorts are typically worn in warm weather or in an environment where comfort and air flow are more important than the protection of the legs.
