The wedding scene between Ennis and Alma is certainly complex and loaded with meaning. Yet, I don't recall many threads that focus on analyzing this scene in great depth.
So this thread can be a place to discuss everything from the interesting Jolly Minister voice-over transition from Ennis crying in the alley to the wedding scene to details of costumes and extras in the scene. Who are all these people in the church? Who's the old guy to the far left on Ennis's side of the church? Etc.
In another thread here in Open Forum it was observed that Ennis and his best man (presumably K.E... maybe) seem to be sharing one suit. Ennis wearing the jacket and the best man wearing the pants.

This level of detail in the scene suggests, that like everything else in BBM, this scene was very carefully crafted.
One thing that I'd like to observe is that there is a man with dark hair seated in the audience behind Ennis's head and in between Ennis and Jack in this photo above... his dark hair is very reminiscent of Jack's hair. On close inspection the man doesn't look that much like Jack except for the hair. So, I wonder if this is a variation on the theme of men with black hats haunting Ennis throughout the film. This man with the dark hair reminds me of this guy...

from just the previous scene. The guy who encounters Ennis in the alley, I think, makes almost all first time BBM watchers think of Jack for a split second before they realize that this is a stranger and not Jack coming back to find Ennis.
Maybe this extra in the pew with dark hair is like a little visual cue to the viewer of the movie that Jack (as always) is weighing heavy on Ennis here at this critical moment.
