How to use wedding in a sentence?

1. Marco Rubio:

   Nobody is saying that it should be legal to deny someone service at a restaurant or at a hotel because of their sexual orientation. I think that's a consensus view in America, the flip side is, should a photographer be punished for refusing to do a wedding that their faith teaches them is not one that is valid in the eyes of God?

2. Mustafa Amin:

   There was an important reason why we decided to go through with our wedding which is that we had equipped and furnished our apartment completely, and perhaps it could have been inauspicious to postpone the celebration since we don't know when the crisis will end.

3. Dani Winchester:

   We don't mind the gamification of Taylor Swift, as it were, it can be fun to speculate - what will the dress look like, who might be a bridesmaid, how big will the wedding be?

4. Ryan Seacrest:

   But I was so honored and thrilled to be invited, and you know the irony was, after I RSVP'd to the wedding, I saw them at dinner at a restaurant, and we talked about the 'event' - because we didn't say it out loud - the 'event' and she said 'Oh, It's going to be so much fun. We're going to have the best time. It's going to go late.' I'm like, 'I cannot wait. I'm so excited.'.

5. Andrew Schulz:

   I’m there and I’m watching the wedding and I see them go in for the kiss and their faces stop like this far, and i’m like, ‘I wonder how they’re going to play that in the movie, they’ll probably just cut right there,’ but [in] the movie you could see their faces come close and then you can see their faces morph a little bit into a fake kiss.
