Depending on the Choice properties near you, you may find the program worthwhile. Choice redemption values can be crazy. For example, a hotel in Virginia Beach near my home is currently available for 20K points/night although it costs only $70/night to stay there: http://www.clarionhotel.com/hotel-vi...state_country=. On the other hand, I'm getting ready to stay at a Choice propety in London that costs 8000/night in points but $250/night if paid in cash. You have to check award redemption costs for your area.

The lower range Choice redemptions run from 6000 to 8000 points per night but can run as high as 25K per night. If you have properties in your area that are in the lower range for the dates around your wedding, you and your boyfriend could each apply for the Barclay's/Choice card that's running a 24K bonus on first purchase, plus a 16K bonus on first stay. If you and your boyfriend do a weekend trip and split the payment for your room between yor two cards (I'd suggest staying in two different properties just to be sure you qualify for the bonus), then you'd have 80K points. Even if awards couldn't cover the entire period, you might find that you could cover a fair amount and then would only have several extra days that would have to be paid for out of pocket.

Keep in mind that Choice redemptions require the same amount of points no matter the room you choose in the hotel, so you could choose a room with a king-size bed as well as a sleeper sofa that might accommodate four adults. That would also reduce your redemption costs.
