My mother never, ever wears a Shteitle (we are Sephardic), she has her head covered though, I am currious when a woman starts wearing one, on her wedding day, or the day after, when?

The bride and groom are joyful, but the wedding ceremony is viewed as something serious. Its a time to pray to G-d as a bride and groom's prayers are especially meaningful and have much power on their wedding day. He is most likely saying psalms and praying for ill people and praying for a good life and marriage and asking for blessings from G-d. He isn't sad. He is focusing on the prayers he is sending to G-d.

What a disgusting thing to say! This is the traditional processional "niggun" (music). Everything is very solemn and somber. Then, when the glass is broken, everyone becomes very lively!

It looks like they are taking him to prison.

I think that the groom is a Rabbi was spent years in a seminary. This may be a new and different experience for him. Also, it marks the end of the study the books period of his life and beginning of responsiblities as a husband, Rabbi, and a community leader. That is a lot to ask of anyone. Good observation.

Why doesn't the groom look happy and joyful? I would think his emotions coincide more with the death of someone.
actually...back in olden days...the men were nervous because they had never met the bride, so they would show some trepidation of course. However, in modern times, they usually meet a couple times before the wedding, or have dated. The need to look sad is a tradition...he's all happy probably, but the sadness is more of a for show type of thing, and respect for the situation.

The music being played is a Niggun-the Alter Rebbe's wedding niggun (Arba Bavos). Its a very holy tune that is only allowed to be sounded a few times a year (besides for at a wedding).
