"most folks..."

This observation seems to have no bearing on the topic.

If it is meant to imply that Hitler had respect for the tradition of the wedding ceremony, that is evidently false.    He had no more respect for it than the most stalwart Mudcat atheist does.

As has been pointed out, he went through the ceremony purely to please Eva Braun.

And it was indeed a bizarre travesty.

"Not long after midnight, with the bunker shaking from nearby explosions," the ceremony was carried out with "one of Goebbels' minor officials, city councillor Walter Wagner, dressed in Nazi uniform with a Volkssturm armband" conducting it.
