Your problems are more a matter of spelling than grammar. These are all right:

a. Yesterday there were 200 marriages in the city.

b. Yesterday there were 200 marriages in the city.

c. Yesterday there were 200 weddings in the city.

d. Yesterday there were 200 weddings in the city.

Marriage is the ceremony; wedding is the social event.
