I haven't been married, it is still against the law where I live. BUT, if I were to marry, I would want it to be a celebration.
If we have a wedding march sort of thing, I think it would be cool if it had people cheering like this:

I would like my wedding to reflect us, me and my partner, rather than be what others think weddings should be. For example, my favorite wedding that I attended:
I was lucky enough to be on the 3 day river rafting trip down the Rouge River where the couple met.
A couple of years later, when they got married, it was at the "put in" for the same section of the Rouge as the trip they met. They had their "official" wedding reception the night before the wedding (this was done because some of the people could not make it to the reception that was planned 3 days later).
The day of the wedding, the couple was in their tux and gown at the beach put in, everyone that had been on the first raft trip were in swim suites, some with life jackets, the rest of the guests were dressed in normal casual out door wedding attire.
The wedding was performed on the beach with the couple standing in a raft. As they did the kiss, the person at the oars pulled the raft back and into the river current. They could started drifting away as they were doing the kiss.
The rest of us that had been on the trip where the couple met, jumped in our rafts and gave chase. The same people that were on the trip where the couple met went on the same route as the previous trip. It was as 3 day floating reception ending with an informal reception near the place where the trip ended.
The wedding was a reflection of the couple, not what a wedding should be.
