What Does It Mean?
Asian
/AY-zhuhn/

Usage: "It's an Asian marriage." "What does that mean?" "It means the guest list started at 400 and we're 'cutting back' to 350."
Marriages
/MAIR-ij-ez/
noun, plural
The legally and/or culturally recognized unions between partners, characterized by love, commitment, and an immediate 400% increase in the frequency of the question "so when are you having kids?" In Asian contexts, marriage is simultaneously the most personal decision of your life and a community event where everyone has a vote. The ceremony itself may last anywhere from one hour to one week, depending on culture, budget, and how many relatives need to be appeased.
Usage: "How was the wedding?" "Which day?" "...How many days was it?" "We're on day four. The dancing hasn't stopped. I haven't sat down since Tuesday. I've never been happier."
