Would transmission have been the same if the wedding happened in a 100% outdoor setting?
(the article explicitly mentions this was at least in part in an indoor setting)
We have enough evidence to teach people that the very least they can do is paying attention to air flow. Somehow we aren't.

For example, in a study of 7,324 Chinese case reports, only two — part of the same transmission event — could be linked to outdoor settings. A database of more than 20,000 cases (including the 7,324 Chinese cases) found 461 that were associated with transmission in completely outdoor environments — predominantly crowded events like markets and rallies. Overall, only 6 percent of all the cases in that database were linked to events that were either totally or partially outdoors. The rest were tied to indoor events.
