Batman Vol. 7: The Wedding by Tom King

The titular wedding doesn't actually happen in this collection of stories. In fact, that story is one of King's least successful because the event--the marriage of Bat and Cat--was so significant that a host of guest artists, huge names such as Frank Miller, Jim Lee, Neal Adams, and so forth, were commissioned to illustrate single-panel pages and these pages, while fantastic in the way they highlight different iterations of the two characters through the years, have the effect of repeatedly stalling the story. Much better is the middle story, "The Best Man," which for most of its length consists of the Joker and Catwoman, both bleeding heavily from their battle, having fallen prone in the ruins of a church and unable to rise, trying to figure out their relationship to each other and to Bats, each completely in character and with art by Mikel Janin that makes this feel far more kinetic than it actually is.
