Maybe people want to read romances with romantic weddings because real life is just too weird to contemplate sometimes.
Here's a recent wedding with an unusual detail that goes in the "truth is stranger than fiction" file":

And a funny recent wedding dock-collapse story:

I still remember a story like this that was a complete tragedy, of a wedding party in France in a collapsing building, years ago, maybe the 1970s. An old floor in an ancient round barn collapsed. Can't find any reference to it on internet. The story made a big impression on me at the time. I always look around when on a deck with people at a party to see whether it's strong enough.
Wish I spent more time writing and less surfing the net. Ah, addictions!
