חָתָן אִם רָצָה לִקְרוֹת קְרִיאַת שְׁמַע לַיְלָה הָרִאשׁוֹן, קוֹרֵא. רַבָּן שִׁמְעוֹן בֶּן גַּמְלִיאֵל אוֹמֵר, לֹא כָל הָרוֹצֶה לִטֹּל אֶת הַשֵּׁם יִטֹּל:

A bridegroom who desires to recite the Shema on his wedding night may do so. R. Shimon b. Gamliel said: "Not all who wish to take the Name may do so." [If he is not recognized as a sage and a porush (saintly) in other matters, this is nothing but pride, pluming oneself on exemplary powers of concentration. The halachah is not in accordance with R. Shimon b. Gamliel. We find some of our rabbis saying that today all men should recite the Shema on their wedding night. For since in these generations we do not recite it with much concentration on all the other days, if a bridegroom did not recite the Shema on his wedding night, he would seem even more haughty, giving the impression that he concentrated at all other times except this, being preoccupied with the mitzvah.]

Tosefta Berakhot

The grooms and all [others] who are involved in [other] Mitzvot (commandments) are exempt from reading [the] Shema and from [the Amidah] prayer and from Tefillin (phylacteries), as it is said, “… when you sit in your house”, (Deuteronomy 6:7) which excludes grooms, “and when you walk on the way”, (Deuteronomy 6:7) which excludes those who are involved in mitzvot.

Tosefta Berakhot

Best men and bridesmaids, and all [other] wedding attendees are exempt from [the] prayer [of Shmoneh Esreh] and from [putting on] Tefillin (Phylacteries), all seven days [of the wedding celebrations], but [they are] obligated in reading the Shema. Rebbi Shila says, “The groom is exempt [from saying the Shema, Shemoneh Esreh and putting on Tefillin], but the wedding attendees are obligated [in all of them].”
