💒 Wedding

💒 Wedding is one of the buildings in Unicode's Travel & Places group. In practice it comes up around chapel, hitched, nuptials and romance.

💒 works in messages, comments, captions and profile names. On SmileyZone it is filed under Buildings and Landmarks. It joined the standard with Emoji 0.6 in 2010, so support on current devices is reliable. Its code point is U+1F492.

• A single 💒 is often enough to set the tone.
• 💍💒 – Announcing an engagement or inviting people to a wedding.
• Often seen near 🏰 Castle, 🗼 Tokyo Tower and 🏯 Japanese Castle.

Wedding customs diverge widely. The white dress only took hold after Victoria’s wedding in 1840; in China and India red is the bride’s colour, while white is associated with mourning.

The ring on the left hand is not universal either: in Germany, Russia, Poland and Norway it is worn on the right. And the notion that a vein runs from the ring finger straight to the heart is an ancient error that refuses to die.

• 💍💒 – Announcing an engagement or inviting people to a wedding.
• 💒🗽 – Wedding and Statue of Liberty
• 💒🏰 – Wedding with Castle
• 💒🗼 – Wedding plus Tokyo Tower
• 💒🏯 – Wedding and Japanese Castle
• 💒🏬 – Wedding with Department Store

Easy to mix up with 🏰 Castle, 🗼 Tokyo Tower or 🏯 Japanese Castle. They sit in the same Unicode subgroup and look similar at small sizes, so it is worth checking the name before sending.
