I agree, weddings are a pretty event. Lots of beautiful decorations, you looking stunning (hopefully better than you ever did before), him looking like prince charming...a huge party in your honour, it's good to have one if only for that.
I agree with mal, simple weddings that focus on the true meaning of a couple's love are far more poignant. I hate those weddings where your family invites more people than you do yourself and all they want to do is show you off...I think if I had to do that I'd scream.
But hey what girl wouldn't want the ring, the beautiful dress, the flowers, everybody fawning over you and you having a fantastic day? Even if it might be just another big party!
And good luck to you Shani, may your wedding day be only the beginning of a beautiful relationship.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
