Acknowledging what has been said about reformed history, my sneaking suspicion is that these are not the motivating reasons for holding this wedding on a Sabbath. Although I may be wrong, I would guess the case is the couple are not Sabbatarians. This being the case, you can be certain that you will be surrounded by people doing things inappropriate on the Sabbath (whatever we think of having the actual wedding itself on that day). The whole situation will not be conducted in a manner and with a mindset to sanctifying the day. If I am right in my guess (and I could be wrong) then I would personally opt not to attend. Not only would I want to use the Sabbath as appropriately as possible but I would not want to give the impression that I condoned what is wrong or that my convictions about the Sabbath could be set aside for more "important" things like weddings.
