Several people asked me if I was going to sing at my wedding, and I had never thought about it! I chose not to, because I didn't want my wedding to turn into a performance for me. I know people do it, but I can't see how someone could focus on singing with so many other things going on.
Of course, there are hundreds, if not thousands, of things that can be sung at weddings. A good music store should have an entire section of wedding music for both keyboard and voice. If you are having a church wedding, you need to find out their policy regarding secular (non-religious) music. Some allow it with no problem. Some want to be sure it isn't overtly sexual, or otherwise inappropriate. Still others allow secular music only before the service proper begins, and a few prohibit secular music altogether. I believe in some denominations solos are frowned upon entirely.
Good luck, and congratulations!
