Wedding scenes became popular on Attic black-figured vases in the 6th century B.C., having made their debut a century before. Typically these scenes depict the processions on a chariot from the bride's father's house to the groom's. This iconography was adopted for both mortal and mythological weddings, as displayed here. For a similar example, with the accompanying gods identified by inscriptions, see fig. 1, p. 63 in Reeder, Pandora: Women in Classical Greece.
