Beautiful thing about music (and art in general) is one's freedom of interpretation.
This song to me just wreaks sarcasm. I think the groom overhears the conversation (since he's nervously pacing) and obviously gets upset, "....you people...goddamn door?!". Which I interpret as "keep your thoughts to yourself". Truth is, whether we admit it or not, we tend to regard what others think of us. You tell yourself you could not care less about what someone else thinks, but if someone suggested something bad about something you valued, you would definitely (subconsciously) consider it. Is there any validity in their suggestion? Hearing someone suggest you're soon-to-be-wife is a whore is pretty daunting if you ask me.
He tries to make himself feel better, tells himself to be calm and not to overreact, that everything will work out: "....sense of poise and rationality", but you can tell it's eating at him inside. His frustration ultimately leads to the cancellation of the wedding, and again he tries to make himself feel better: "I'll look at it this way... technically our marriage is saved", because if he would've married a whore (suspected) they would've had a horrible marriage. So he's trying to look on the bright side of things, "this calls for a toast so pour the champagne." But is he genuinely happy with the situation? Even if he did prevent a miserable marriage? It just wreaks of sarcasm and dismay.
I think this song says a lot about the powerful influence of others (society), especially when it regards something one takes to heart.
