The Bonius' Wedding

I talked with Erik the other day and he mentioned tentatively putting me in charge of making beer for his wedding next October. Since I believe we balls deepers are going to probably be the major consumers of these malted libations during the reception, I decided to put it to a vote as to what type of offers I should concoct.
As of right now my plans are to make three corny kegs (each 5 gal) which will total just under a regular 1/2 keg of beer. The three beers which I had in mind are:
1) An American Pale Ale (a deschutes mirror pond or sierra pale ale esque beer)
2) A Marzen/Octoberfest (when in season...)
3) A wit or maybe a wheat beer

I went with fairly conservative but tasty brews that most anybody can find something they like. Other obvious choices are: IPA, Stout, Porter, Brown, Belgian Golden, Czech Pilsner (tough to brew though). Thoughts?
