Also are you planning to have the grooms man and Braids maid bind their hands? as Æðel would quite like to make the bind cloth/ribbon (not sure of the right name for this item) a gift to them.

Great ideas! Thanks for offering them. I'll edit my last post to include them. Oh, and welcome back! I hope you can stay long a while.
