Step-by-step explanation:

The house or the property was purchased by A and B two weeks before the wedding ceremony. A and B are not "Tenants by entirety" or TBE when they both the property as they are not married by that time when the property was bought.

So the answer would be Joint tenancy, where in some states says default to the TIC or the tenancy in common investment as they did not use the language of giving the idea of a JT or joint tenancy.

Tenants by entirety is a law in most of the U.S. states and it states that both husband wife have an equal ownership and survivor ship over the property they bought.
