Venom's slow spread during wedding rites (6,4)
I believe the answer is:
solemn vows
'during wedding rites' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.
'venom's slow spread' is the wordplay.
'spread' indicates an anagram.
'venoms'+'slow'='venomsslow'
'venomsslow' with letters rearranged gives 'SOLEMN VOWS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
