A very broad question Mclachlan...how much money do you have lol...

Must be champagne I think for the wedding...traditional, and being an admitted novice, you may enjoy it most, either that or a german riesling maybe, they come drier or sweeter as you prefer.

Seems strange coming up with wines for someone new to them, do you plan on growing into them and enjoying them I hope?

plan:
year 1 decent california white, probably chard, won't last much more than a year probably,
year 2 maybe a chiante classico reserva?
year 3 good single vineyard california zin, mayhap Renwood
baby fairly soon...champagne or california merlot or oregon pinot noir, or perhaps a dessert wine, a good one
year 4 maybe a good french rhone
year 5 good german riesling just for a change
or very good chablis (from the chablis region in france)
year 6 Very good california cab
year 7 Very good Barolo or Barbaresco (italian)
year 8 Great Red burgandy
year 9 Great Red bordeaux, possibly from older vintage
year 10 Great Sauternes (dessert wine)

Warning, This Is a Classic Fantasy List and will be Very Expensive (read thousands of dollars)

Wine need Not be this expensive to do what you want to do, and will still be Much more than enjoyable, I promise, just need some more info here...

sorry just got on a roll babbling and dreaming....drinking some wine here =D
