Excellent basic list, Pete. However, imo you did miss a couple important ones, though: The groom arriving at the bride's house - and seeing her in her wedding dress for the first time - to collect her to go to church (in cultures where the father doesn't "give away" the bride at the altar)
The ringbearer
The exchange of the rings
