by the following week it had exited the top-5 for the first time, at a position of number 11, a position it held for two weeks. By 23 August, it had reached number 12, and the week after it was at number 14. The last two weeks "Wedding" was on the chart it was on number 17, leaving on 13 September 1966. In total, "Wedding" became their fifth number 1 single on the chart. It stayed on the charts for 17 weeks, of which 11 were in the top-10 and 8 were in the top-5. It was equally as successful on Tio i Topp, staying on the chart for 7 weeks, peaking at number 1 for 3 of those weeks. The single was also successful on neighboring country Norway's VG-lista, staying on there for 3 weeks, peaking at number 8. It entered the chart on 11 June 1966 at a position of number 9, before peaking at number 8 the following week, a position it held for two weeks. It exited the chart on 25 June.

The success of the single led to it being featured in an alternate version, which is approximately 10 seconds longer, on their second studio album (third overall release) The Hep Stars. It is one of two singles on the album, along with "Consolation" and is the closing track. The single would eventually be re-recorded by the Hep Stars 50 years later for the album 50th Anniversary 1964-2014. The song was played by Andersson on Björn Ulvaeus and Agnetha Fältskog's wedding on
