Mine didn't. But about 2 minutes after I read this thread, I ran across this item:

Yes! My wife and I (!) rode about 4 miles from our home to the registry office on our tandem, in full wedding regalia. It was fantastic, but the way back was even better; we deliberately routed through busy commercial areas, and were the object of much attention, honking and waving! See below

Not from my wedding...we used a 1928 Model A Ford. However I did cycle to and from my parents 50th wedding anniversary shindig at their local church. In full formal wear...white dinner jacket. Unfortunately I don't think anyone got pictures. I rode my 1972 Raleigh Superbe. Got plenty of wolf whistles, horn honks and thumbs up on the 2 mile ride

We rode away from our reception on a tandem bike. My wife set up the whole thing and I didn't know anything about it. It was a tandem that was recumbent up front (her) and upright in the rear (me). When we walked out to the bike I told her, "I've never ridden one of these things. Hope I don't dump you off into the road."

My wife would have ripped off my private parts and killed me had I even suggested the idea. She already complains about being a cycling widow.

I participated in a wedding that was held during the Midwest Tandem Bicycle Rally. It was in Omaha that year. (Also hotter than hell.)
All of the attendents were tandem couples. The bride was escorted down the aisle on one tandem and the groom rode in with no stoker. They left together, naturally, and we paraded through down town.

On August 24th, Rowan and I rode a century (100 miles) in the mountains around Jasper, Alberta, and then quickly changed and got ready for a small, quiet ceremony by Lake Annette, just outside of Jasper. There were 6 of us there ... Rowan and me, my parents, and John and Pat (my cousins, and also the mayor of Banff). It was lovely.
I have put together the photos here:
https://www.flickr.com/photos/1430288...7607097344648/
If you click the word "Detail" (or each individual photo), you'll be able to see the comments I made with each photo.
If you click "Slideshow" and then the little button in the lower left with the four arrows, it will go to full screen. You can also use Info On to show comments, etc.

I was reminded of this thread today ... and wondered if there were others who included bicycles and cycling in their weddings.
