Parents.

Transcriptions and NBI are merely finding aids.  They are NOT a substitute for original record entries.
Remember - "They'll be found when they want to be found" !!!
If you don't ask the question, you won't get an answer.
He/she who never made a mistake, never made anything.

In those days weddings were organised by the bride's parents, so there would be plenty of their friends and relatives at the wedding.  (My children both organised their own weddings, so there were more young folk there than older ones.  I think that's the way it goes nowadays.) 
How big is your photograph?  Apart from the immediate bridal party I would think all close relatives would be included.

I would have thought that it would have come down to how much they could afford. If there was to be only one picture then it was all in. But if there were to be half a dozen, or more, then progressively more people would have been added in each shot.
