Absolutely! It's the same as the whole diamond ring thing. If my partner doesn't want a malachite ring on one hand with a turquoise or tiger's eye ring on the other, we aren't going to be compatible.
If I were to plan a 'wedding' it would be a series of them. Invite over about 10-20 people at a time every other week for three months (I have a looooot of extended family that I am actually close with, so maybe even for six months depending on how big my partner's family and friends group is). We can split the cost of the food, and just plan some outings at the local sites (depending on where I would be, something like a park, the beach, a mountain hike, etc.). That lets us avoid the classic 'X hates Y, so you can't sit them near each other!' baloney. It also lets us redirect the cost of a venue, catering, photographers, etc. towards food alone, and we can splurge a little while still saving 80% of the costs.
