This study is devoted to a comparative analysis of metaphors and similes associated with the concept of wedding ceremonies in the Russian and Uzbek languages. The research examines the linguocognitive and linguocultural features of the wedding concept and explores the mechanisms through which it is represented in language. Particular attention is paid to metaphorical models and comparative constructions found in proverbs, sayings, phraseological units, folklore texts, and literary works. These linguistic units are analyzed as important means of reflecting cultural values, ethnic traditions, and collective experience. The study identifies the conceptual structure of the wedding concept and reveals its core semantic components, including marriage, family, happiness, prosperity, continuity of generations, and social responsibility. The findings demonstrate that metaphors and similes play a significant role in shaping and transmitting national worldviews and cultural knowledge. Comparative analysis reveals both universal and culture-specific characteristics of wedding-related imagery in Russian and Uzbek linguistic traditions. The results contribute to a deeper understanding of national mentality, cultural identity, and the linguistic worldview of the two peoples. The research findings may be applied in linguocultural studies, cognitive linguistics, comparative linguistics, translation studies, and intercultural communication.
