Marriage: Personal Yom Kippur

Question

Some Jews have the minhag to fast on day of wedding as it is analogous to Yom Kippur when sins are forgiven. Does this minhag include other Yom Kippur restrictions like melacha and bathing etc. or just fasting?

    It is only for fasting and the Mincha that is recited on the afternoon of the wedding which is the same Mincha that is recited on Erev Yom Kippur.
