the secret rogue one wedding scene but jyn and cassian’s chuppah was held by bodhi and chirrut and baze and k2so, who kept threatening to drop it so that the ceremony would be cut off. of course it couldn’t be a stationary chuppah - their home is their friends and family, of course their wedding would have to be something that moved with them. and under the chuppah jyn and cassian each continued their favorite hobby of circling each other but seven times, now, for the days of Creation. and they got married wrapped in a tallit an old woman gave Cassian - not someone he knew, not someone he’d ever met before, but a woman who saw his face and heard him speak and wanted to know if he was of kenari, yes, she recognised his accent, she thought he looked like a little curly-haired boy she’d once seen tucked under his father’s tallit at the massive Kenari kol nidre services- it would mean nothing more to her than for her own tallit that once was tied away under her clothing as she ran to be used for an occaision of joy. 
and the cloth on their chuppah was one the rebels embroidered collectively in the styles of kenari and fest and ferrix and alderaan and everywhere to be Remembered, and they used the thread from their uniforms and the thread frayed from stolen imperial flags to stitch a new pattern of leaves and flowers and roots. and jyn’s vows had something from megillat ruth, certainly - “Where you die, I will die, and there I will be buried. Thus and more wil the LORD do to me, if anything but death parts me from you.” and they broke the glass for the destruction of the temple in Yerushalaim and for the shards of the homelands they carry with them everywhere, for the sorrow carried by survivors even amidst the sweetness of life. 
and there was definitely at least one full on band, and dancing in the streets. cassian said he wanted a small ceremony but melshi (ride or die) was like, hundereds of people were willing to die on your word, how many people do you think would come to your WEDDING???? so there were at least five hundred people and it lasted until well into the next morning, but before then, after the ceremony, while the band was just starting to warm up, cassian and jyn scampered into an old engine room for the yichud and she tucked her head into his shoulder in the moment of peace and he welcomed her home. And one of the gifts they got from their wedding was a mezuzah and cassian asked if she wanted to affix it to the door of their rebellion-assigned quarters or the side of one of the requisitioned ships but she said no, no, if it was alright she’d rather he take it with him until there was some point there could be a doorframe that was theirs permanently to mark as their home
