How it's used

It carries a slightly formal or serious tone compared to just saying 結婚, making it common in discussions about planning or family objections. Use it when talking about the logistics or the process of getting married.

Common mistake

Do not confuse this with 結婚, which is a verb meaning to get married. Using 婚事 as a verb is grammatically incorrect; it is strictly a noun describing the affair or event.
