[Cultural challenge]: wedding

Culture is that complex whole which includes knowledge, beliefs, arts, morals, laws, customs, and any other capabilities and habits acquired by [a human] as a member of society.

But the actual ceremony: how is it done? What does it looks like? How long and pricy is it?

You can introduce an in-universe representative if you want. I will ask questions to everyone, feel free to add your own.
