minhag - Are there any Yekkish wedding customs specifically?


In Yekkish Ashkenaz minhag are there any wedding customs distinct from general Ashkenaz wedding customs?


For example, I've read online that there is a minhag to use the chattan's tallis for the chuppah and that Yekke authorities did not object to getting married in shul (whereas Polish Ashkenazi authorities considered it chukos ha'goyim because Christians often married in churches). Are there sources for these or other customs?
