I think this goes back to the fact that the WW is at War.  Doing 
work for my history thesis, it wasn't unusual to find recounts of 
British soldiers on leave during the Battle for Britain that would 
go to a funeral or memorial in the morning and a wedding in the 
afternoon either the next day or the same day, often for men who 
knew each other.  This is especially true amongst pilots and 
sailors.  Besides, I think after McGonagall's statement in the 
Hospital Wing about more love in the world, it would be pretty 
clear DD wouldn't want them to postpone their wedding because of 
his passing.
