setting change all the time, as any photography
but generally wide aperture, +-f/4 for shots of the couples
wedding party/bridesmaids/group shots obv higher f-stop
shutter speed and iso depend on available light and/or if you using flash

What does this even mean? It's a pretty broad question and there are so many variables in weddings.

My camera is always on M.

Prime lens @ f2 for snaps. Zoom @ f2.8 for snaps. Portraits ~f2.8 - f4. Group shots f4-f5.6. Shutter speed varies along with ISO of course. ISO is always at the lowest I can make it. My camera hates anything above 800 :/

Ask some more specific questions :)

They have noise, don't worry about that. It is just more of an acceptable level of noise ;)

I use a 1ds III - it was targeted at commercial/fashion shooters but I shot a few weddings with it a few years back. Shooting primes you rarely go above 800 with it anyway.
