Future event or present immediate event
Most of the time when I attend marriage ceremony, I notice a hoarding of somebody weds somebody suppose " Michal weds Marina"
My questions are that:
Does "wed" here expresses any future event such as "Michal going to wed Marina or the present immediate event such "Michal has just wedded Marina"? Can you give any alternative sentence for it?

Apart from in newspaper headlines, we don't use the verb 'wed' much in BrE. If you have been to wedding ceremonies with such notices outside, then you know better than we what time-frame is referred to.

"Wed" is an old-fashioned verb. It is used in formal announcements.
In conversations, the verb "marry" or the phrase "get married" is far more common.
Michal going to marry Marina.
Michal and Marina are going to get married.
