Note
The plural belongs to the countable uses of ceremony: rituals with religious or cultural weight, and official gatherings that mark an event, such as a graduation or a commemoration. The uncountable uses, formal behavior between ranks or a show of magnificence, take no plural, so the formality in "without ceremony" stays singular. The spelling follows the usual consonant-plus-y rule: ceremony, ceremonies.
