Exactly, just think your only talking about the english word for Marriage, for example in nordic languages "Giftast" means to marry... GIFT, I think you get where that has its roots..

But anyhow its really just wordplay, why it should hold any deep special meaning other than you give it is beyond me. Words and meanings constantly evolve and your making special 1 word in 1 language when in the western world there are so many variations of that word which stem from so many other traditions and old meanings that the importance of the word is really non existent.

Its the application of it that matters.
