A wedding ceremony is the actual wedding - i.e., when the bride and groom are married in front of witnesses and usually by a third party who speaks the words joining the couple in "holy wedlock".
The wedding reception occurs after the wedding and is a time of celebration often accompanied by music and dancing and good things to eat. Frequently, a large wedding cake is cut by the couple together to symbolize their new partnership and then slices of the cake are distributed to the guests..
There are many other traditions associated with wedding ceremonies and wedding receptions depending on the culture. But these are the basics common to all.
