Learn English – Difference between ‘through’ and ‘throughout’

adverbsdifferences

I'm not sure which is correct:

The bride's mother sniffed all the way through/throughout the wedding service.

According to the Cambridge dictionary, 'through' means 'from the beginning to the end of a period of time. 'Throughout' means 'in every part, or during the whole period of time'. Does that mean both are acceptable? Thanks.
