My wedding was kind of interesting.
In my Faith, the groom must put his trust in his best man to defend him from all possible encroachments, both physical, emotional, and spiritual. The groom's focus should be entirely trained upon his bridge and the spiritual obligation he is about to make. As such, the groom is not allowed to be armed in any external fashion.
Right before the ceremony I provided both my primary firearm and my blade to the groom, who wore both proudly.
Both of the ushers were armed as well, one with a Glock 19, the other with a vintage Colt Government 1911. Two of the attendees were armed courtesy of our nation's Imigration and Nationalization Service. One attendee was carrying his issue'd Beretta 96, but that's because he had to go on duty immediately after the ceremony and was in uniform. At least two attendees had swords, one a full sized Claymore, the other an Epee.
Of course, these are the ones that I 'know' where armed. I suspect a few others, but it didn't seem proper to ask, particularly considering how well they normally react to armed Law Enforcement officials.
Now, when I go to a wedding, you can bet your sweet assets that I'm carrying something. One of my cousins was involved in a robbery at a wedding (and no, unfortunately he was not on the side of the victims). Weddings are prime pickings.
