points from 25th Oct 2010

 in at a wedding, physically, that is: I was at my sister's wedding, and... 
Of course otherwise you can say "in:" In  their wedding, bride and groom make a promise before God and Man...
chance 1= possibility, opportunity, (example.:Michael Douglas Has Throat Tumor: What are His Chances?, activity:Google his chances  and look at the headline results.)2 as in" by chance", random, unpredictable, (aleatorio)
From the king and I : the song "young lovers"BOTH meaningsMinute 2.25

"When you fly down the street/on the chance that you'll meet/and you meet - is it really by chance?" "On the chance that" , in the possibility that; very nearly = in the hope that
In context,  a person's  chances may be romantic " I've had my chances" = I could have been married
or even directly sexual: "Francis, coming home from school
swung the baby by the t****
Naughty, naughty, little Francis!
Spoiling all poor baby's chances!" ( A parody  of "Ruthless rhymes for heartless children")
pass through a town, a situation. More  normally "go" +through a situation : you can go through hell in a bad neighbourhood"
undergo suffering, go through suffering .
When you pass something/somewhere travelling, this is usually only going by it, hence a "by-pass" road.You can make this explicit saying pass by, instead of just pass --> a"passerby" transeunte, or someon who is just on the scene "by chance"
to do make an excuse
