+1 -> this was my first thought as I read the OP. It's a R/T to Charleston, and then an R/T to PVR.

And it might even have the side benefit of allowing you to swing by home and repack for the honeymoon.

The benefit to the OP's #1 is minimal time in the air, especially if they have family to help deal with luggage needed for the wedding but not the PVR trip. So I can see benefit there as well.

Don't know about option #2...seems *logical* that no-showing the air wouldn't effect the hotel, as package deals are run through a travel agent with a prepaid hotel unrelated to the airline. What I don't get is *why* this think is $2,000 cheaper....hell, I did a 5-night PVR trip with the whole family one time and I don't think the whole thing everything included cost two grand. Since packages aren't my area of expertise, I'd probably stick with #1 knowing that the throwaway ticket on the return can't affect the hotel.
