is it a wedding?

come july the seventh, I will be heading to a mutual friend's wedding. Here's the problem: I think its is a wedding, but on her (home-printed) invite, it reads solemnisation (not to be confused with a kinky act that sounds rather similar...haha)

So, here's the dilemma. Do I need to get her a wedding gift (which after discussions with friends, we'll stick to the favourite Asian Chinese tradition of giving pure money in red packets) cos since, theoretically, a solemnisation is not an actual wedding. Right? But then again, she will be serving a high tea buffet after that. And considering she is holding her deed at her university campus grounds, is my red packet of 38 (auspicious figure by Chinese standards anyway) too much, cos' her solemnisation or wedding is in far flung area of Singapore in NTU?

Hmmm...so, is there a real difference between a wedding an solemnisation?
