IMO it doesn't make much sense not to reveal before marriage. If you don't and they freak out after the wedding the MoM not only has to alter memories but undo/revise weddings, guests memories, evidence etc. If on the other hand you reveal before the wedding and they freak all that needs to be revised is their memory of the reveal. So I would think except in cases where Magic is used to force the muggle to love, (or at least believe they love), the wizard the reveal would be done before the wedding unless the wizard doesn't plan to reveal at all.
Just my 2 cents, now I'll have to read it and see if it makes sense :-).
