1991 was the biggest year ever for Barbie-related weddings.
First, of course, that year, was the marriage of Midge and Allan. A huge doll set with the couple in their wedding outfits, Barbie and Ken as their attendants, a revived Todd as ring bearer, and a larger Kelly as the flower girl. You could get the four adult dolls separately as well, plus a gift set with only Kelly and Todd, several playsets including a chapel, and four honeymoon outfits for Midge.
Of course, you could always buy a separate bridal gown for Barbie (there were at least four of them) and a tuxedo for Ken. I recently discovered a gift set that I never knew existed from 1991 that had outfits for Barbie, Ken and a Barbie friend in a beautiful box that could be cut apart to make a small chapel with stained glass windows.
This was #793 Special Wedding Fashions Set. It contained the Barbie bridal gown that you see pictured on the upper right https://www.appletreeauction.com/auction-lot/4-nrfp-vintage-1990-barbie-bridal-collection._CAE400991E, Ken Wedding Collection #8307 http://www.manbehindthedoll.com/8307.htm, and a pink version of Barbie Fantasy Fashion https://www.ebay.com/itm/133789929044, see the back of the box.
There is one puzzling item in this set. If you look at the link of the Ken outfit, you will see him wearing this scarf on top of his tuxedo, and I think it looks incongruous. It measures 1 inch wide by 11 inches long. To me, it looks like the stole that a minister wears over the alb. I guess if you have a loose white dress or robe that a fashion doll would wear, you could wrap the scarf around the neck?
