Definition
主婚 means 'to officiate at a wedding'. It's a separable verb (离合词): the verb 主 and the object 婚 can be split when inserting aspect markers, measure words, or modifiers (e.g. 主过婚 'has officiated', 主了两次婚 'officiated twice'). The person officiating (chaplain, parent, or elder) is the subject; no object is needed after the compound.
