I love tempting fate and would use Noodler's Widomaker ink in a Lamy Joy… Yeah that sound like a nice combo!

It pays to plan ahead! If you start saving now maybe something like the MontBlanc Wedding pen would suit? If its good enough for His Highness Prince Albert and Charlene Wittstock.....

"The unique Montblanc Wedding Pen is inspired by the architectural elements of the Palais Princier and the Principality Flag, embellished with the monogram of the Princely Couple and precious stones: 128 diamonds and 161 rubies that refer to the colours of the Monégasque State have been artistically rendered into the skeleton of the solid white gold fountain pen. The hand-crafted gold nib is finely engraved with a dove, rings and a crown and thus unites the unique symbols of love and this state union."

 

It is a bit pretentious so maybe dial back the rubies and diamonds..

I had to use the deskpen BP, that was chained to the counter at our courthouse, 'cause neither myself nor the bride owned a pen at the time. I doubt if the courthouse clerk would have noticed, if we'd used a solid gold fountain pen, or a Bic stick pen - all she cared about, was that it wasn't in pencil.

 

It really wasn't much of a ceremony even worth remembering.

The marriage counts. The pen doesn't. Worry about how you will keep your promise "as long as you both shall live". That's hard work.

I used a white sailor Sapporo filled with Sailor Sei-Boku ink, he used a black sailor pro-gear with I believe diamine registrars ink. We'd debated getting special pens but as planning got more hectic, we only realized the night before we'd completely forgotten about pen/ink.

 

We used pilot 78Gs in broad (stub) for our guest book table. TMLee made our guest book, so it was a truly beautiful way for us to remember our night.

It was May, 1972. The pen used was a Cross 14k gold ballpoint.
