As nouns the difference between nuptials and wedding is that nuptials is wedding ceremony while wedding is marriage ceremony
I read this like 10 times already and it still makes no sense: "nuptials" means "wedding" and "wedding" means "marriage" but "nuptials" doesn't mean "marriage".
I do realize that natural languages aren't supposed to be logical and non-contradicting, but this takes it to the next level.
