Osse: "Y'all call it marriage. But y'all also don't...do the Spirit-wind-y thing. Except when you do it only with one and weirdly complicated and stuff." Sex, Osse, the word you are looking for is sex
(Honesty hour moment here, I genuinely believe that what Osse&Uinen have, and actually all the 'married' Ainur couples, is of a fundamentally different nature, but that's the closest "equivalent".)
(so Osse would look at "actual" marriage as one of the few Ainu who actually gave enough of a shit to try and understand the Children as they actually are, glaring at u Manwe and just... boggle)
Manwe: "What is marriage?" The first Elves: "Oh, um, well it's... when... you... uh... things... two people... very affectionate? --incoherent stuttering" Manwe: Ah, yes. Then I am marriage with Varda"
