1. The formal union of two people who are of the same gender in a consensual relationship, typically recognized by society. Also described as same-sex marriage and gay marriage.
The two men had been seeing each other for 5 years and engaged for 9 months before they decided to make their relationshippermanent by garriage.
The gay couple invited all their friends to celebrate the couple's garriage ceremony.
The two women exchanged loving vows during their garriage ceremony.
The social institution under which a man and a man, or a woman and a woman establish their decision to live as husband and husband or wife and wife by legal commitments, religious ceremonies, etc.
If two members of the same sex can't join in marriage, they can certainly be joined in garriage.
A simple word to obviously describe gay marriages. It is a compromise between two people of the same gender. Since marriage is to strong to use on same gender "matching" and people don't seem to accept that, just use gayriage or a better sounding word that means the same thing. The same principles apply like divorcing and raising a child.
-"Hey dude i heard you're getting married"
-"Nah im getting gayried tomorrow!"
-"Congrats!"
-"Do your parents know you're getting into a gayriage though?"
-"No and they will never know"
When two men get 'married', it is a gayriage, not a gay marriage.
A marriage is between a man and a woman, NOT a man and man or a woman and a woman (a lesriage).
