Mt sister got married last summer, and she and her hubby had a hand-binding ritual with two strips of hand-dyed batik fabric, after which (wrists bound together) they shared a glass of wine.

I think there are ways to incorporate these kinds of traditions without getting all "on the wings of dragonflies" about it. If you find a way to weave seemingly disparate things together, and if the overall feeling isn't strongly "themed" (like, the bride's NOT in a corset and the groom ISN'T wearing a floppy tam with a pom-pom) you'll be fine.
