Couldn't resist un-lurking for this one. I didn't intend to sing at my
wedding. At the reception, my new husband and my accompanist (also the best
man) surprised me. They stood up and told everyone that the day should be
celebrated with a special song and that no one sang it better. And they
wouldn't let me wiggle out of it. They even had the music there to hand to
me in case I was too nervous to remember the words! It was actually fun -
and the most amazing thing is that after singing, the horrible headache I
had went completely away (guess it was the good deep breathing).
So, I don't know about singing during the wedding itself, but at the
reception - perhaps??
Cheers to you all,

In my personal opinion, people who sing at their own weddings are tacky.
There
are lots of occasions for you to sing. Let this one be a time when you
allow
your friends to sing to you. You will be a star in a different way this
day.
Furthermore, you will be in a state of high emotions, and this will work
against your singing your best. I would play the role of the bride this
time
and let others do the singing.
