❌I am going to a matrimonial party this Saturday.
✅I am going to a wedding party this Saturday.
💡'Matrimonial' describes the state of being married, not the ceremony. Use 'wedding' for the event.
❌They celebrated their 25th matrimonial anniversary.
✅They celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary.
💡'Wedding anniversary' is the fixed expression; 'matrimonial anniversary' is not natural English.
