意思
Preparing for a wedding.
文化背景
Wedding planning in Finland often starts a year in advance, especially to secure a popular 'juhlapaikka' (venue) for the summer months. It is very common for couples to be 'menossa naimisiin' after having lived together for many years in an 'avoliitto'. Civil weddings at the 'maistraatti' are becoming more popular than church weddings, but the phrase 'olla menossa naimisiin' is used for both. The 'polttarit' (bachelor/bachelorette party) is a huge part of being 'menossa naimisiin'. Friends often 'kidnap' the person for a weekend of activities.
The 'Going' Metaphor
Think of 'menossa' as being on a train. You haven't reached the station (the wedding) yet, but you are definitely on the tracks.
Case Matters
Never say 'naimisissa' for a future wedding. It's the most common mistake and changes the meaning entirely.

In Helsinki slang, you might hear 'mennä naimisiin' shortened to just 'mennä naimisiin' without the 'olla menossa' part, even for plans.
