When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.
Proposed translations
marriage solemnised at 5 p.m.
"solemnise
duly perform (a ceremony, especially that of marriage)."

I agree with those who have said that it would be most unusual in English to express the time of a wedding using the 24-hour clock. There are various acceptable ways of writing the time: "5pm", "5 pm", "5 p.m.".
"The ceremony was performed by Dr. H.L. Wiles and the marriage was solemnized at 7 p.m."

marriage held at five in the afternoon (seventeen hours)

a marriage entered into at 5pm
Thanks, I thought that I could only use "into" before the name of a person, for example: the marriage entered into Mr. XXX and Ms. XXXX |

I got interrupted while writing so may well be repeating what many have already said....
