He left the wedding ceremony between Romeo and Juliet out because nothing interesting happens at it, and watching it would not help the audience understand any better that they were married. He also leaves the wedding ceremony out of The Taming of the Shrew, although he describes it. This may have been because of Petruchio's swearing in church, which might have been hard to get by the censors. On the other hand, he included the wedding ceremony between Hero and Claudio in Much Ado About Nothing which is extremely dramatic and ends with Hero shamed and left at the altar. He kept the wedding scene in As You Like It because it is there that the reveal of who "Ganymede" really is takes place. On the other hand, the weddings in Midsummer Night's Dream are not portrayed, although the entertainment after and the departure of the couples to their marriage beds is. The wedding between Olivia and Sebastian in Twelfth Night is likewise not portrayed because nothing dramatic happens at it.

Generally, Shakespeare did not portray weddings unless there was something of overriding dramtic importance which happens at the wedding. They are not interesting enough.
