Wedding / Getting Married
結婚 is a word that means wedding or getting married.
In some context, 結婚 can just be read as “marriage.”

Wedding
婚 is related to the ideas of getting married, being in a marriage, or taking a wife (could also mean take a husband, as “take a wife” is a western term, and this is just a general Chinese term regarding a wedding).

Double Happiness
(Happy wedding and marriage)
囍 is a common gift for Chinese couples getting married or newly married couples.
As we say in the west, “Two heads are better than one” Well, in the east, two “happinesses” are certainly better than one.
Some will suggest this is a symbol of two happinesses coming together. Others see it as a multiplication of happiness because of the union or marriage.
囍 is not really a character that is pronounced very often - it's almost exclusively used in written form. However, if pressed, most Chinese people will pronounce this “shuang xi” (double happy) although literally there are two “xi” characters combined in this calligraphy (but nobody will say “xi xi”).
If you select this character, I strongly suggest the festive bright red paper for your calligraphy. Part of my suggestion comes from the fact that red is a good luck color in China, and this will add to the sentiment that you wish to convey with this scroll to the happy couple.
