If it were me, i'd go for something easy to drink, roughly 4% and with aroma but not hops for taste, this makes it inviting but not aimed at a particular audience.
As for a name, who knows! whats their surname? I'd call it "wedding crasher"

Re: Wedding Brew ideas
Easy drinking is the way forward, most women won't touch the stuff in a pint glass regardless of what it is. Atleast at the weddings i've been to, they've all entertained wine and spirits. Men usually do the beer/lager thing.

Re: Wedding Brew ideas
I'm going for a traditional English bitter with MO & Goldings as the cornerstone. It will be approx 3.6% with IBU's only 24. I'm mashing a little low so it will attenuate well for a drier crispier less body style, making it quite quaffable. As for the name Lime Corridor nailed it (5th post) all I'm going to do is change the beer name to "You're The One That I Want" featuring Olivia New To Tom 
I am "The Little Red Brooster"

Re: Wedding Brew ideas
FWIW I'm brewing 50l of this (2x25l batches) this weekend for a wedding in 2 months. I've gone for a Deuchar's IPA x TTL at slightly higher strength to improve cask stability. I find maltiness and mouthfeel drop after 6 weeks in cask (as this will have) hence the Munich and Carapils. Everyone loves a beer with Styrian Goldings that is 18-20 EBC. I'm going to ferment this with Wyeast 1728 (Edinburgh) at 20C as I don't want fruity esters, I want to keep the maltiness, I want about 70-75% attenuation, because I have about 800 billion cells in slurry, enough for two batches and finally because I want to see if it works!
