I'm sorry sir, but we can't allow you to marry your own oven.
(^_^) We don't think you can handle the heat!

I don't care if that duck can read books. You still can't marry it!

Here in Ireland, thanks to our 2015 referendum, it is now!

"Lovlig," or "Legal," is the adjective version of the word. To make Danish adjectives into adverbs, you would add a "-t" suffix to the end of the word (lovligt), similarly to how you would add a "-ly" suffix to the end of an English adjective to accomplish the same thing. This is covered more thoroughly in the Adverbs section.

I don't really understand why "The wedding is not legal," is not acceptable. Is there a difference between marriage and a wedding?

I thing "wedding" mostly refers to the ceremony, and "marriage" refers to the legal (or illegal) granting of marital status to a couple. So for example, in states where same-sex marriage is against the law, two woman can have a wedding, which would be legal, but their marriage would not be recognized legally.

Luckily, no such states exist anymore, unless you mean "states" as in "nations." <3
