Just for grins I conducted a little Google Trends search and compared the search term “wedding” to “marriage”. Wedding beats out marriage by a margin close to 4:1. You can conduct your own trends analysis at Google Trends.

The top regions are lead by South Africa and Ireland.

1. South Africa
2. Ireland
3. Philippines
4. United Kingdom
5. United States
6. Australia
7. New Zealand
8. Canada
9. Malaysia
10. India

And although the US is only #5 in the regional list they have 6 of the top ten cities. I guess that means those folks in Ireland are researching like crazy.

1. Dublin, Ireland 2. St Louis, MO, USA
3. Minneapolis, MN, USA
4. New York, NY, USA
5. Thames Ditton, United Kingdom
6. Chicago, IL, USA
