Going to share this : http://xivdb.com/?quest/67114/The-Ties-that-Bind click on dialogue you will see the whole dialogue of the quest which is all about love. This actually makes me thinking that it's more like a wedding than something which tie two people together regardless of their feeling for each others.
Though, when you select your ceremony type, you have access to 3 different sorts of ceremony : Lover's Kiss, Spinner's Hand, or Solemn Oath, the text as well as the NPC hosting those (Mogs, Elezen or Hyur) are completely different and I believe they hold some different purpose as well.
While the Lover Kiss seems to be like any classical marriage, the two others give some different vibes, particularly the last one which consists to sign a book together to seal a pact.
We do know that racisms is really present when it comes to this game, as well as what is shared about Ul'dah's classes is clearly showed during the Weaver quest where you help a miner to seduce an important merchant's daughter (remember what says that oh so annoying guy who tries to hit her, he explains that their parents will have an accord so they would get married).
Now how it should be when it comes to character ? I do think it's only up to your own feelings. At the end of the day, it doesn't matter if X will decide that it will be a wedding IC while Y will consider it as a promise give to their brother in arms and Z doesn't acknowledge it as something IC. As for changing name ? It's up to you, we know few about the traditions on this side. What matters is only what it means to you and how happy it will make you feel. Your memories and feelings are way more important than how other people see that ceremony and anyway, the lore and the way the 3 ceremonies are done can help you to manage it IC, you could even add some discourse coming from another RPer to have a special ceremony during the 20mn of the reception. Why not after all ? The only limit is what you want to do, not really some game quests or even lore
