Isn't it both? Marriage is both a state transition (the rite that signals
the transition to a married state from an unmarried state), and a steady
state condition after the state transition occurs (as in "their marriage has
lasted for 50 years"). The word "wedding" is often used to distinguish
between the state transition and the steady state condition, denoting the
former but not the latter (although common usage isn't always precise on
this point, as in "wedded bliss"). (01)
