Robert Alter's translations and footnotes are the best there are. He hasn't done the whole Tanach, but I'd suggest going with him first. Here's his Torah: https://www.amazon.com/Five-Books-Moses-Translation-Commentary-ebook/dp/B0028T8T40/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1503489333&sr=8-1&keywords=robert+alter+5+books+of+moses

As someone else mentioned, Telushkin's books are very good.

For wedding specific books, when I was planning my wedding, I read both Anita Diamant's The New Jewish Wedding and The Creative Jewish Wedding Book. Both were very helpful.

The Reform movement's publishing arm has just published a new book about Jewish weddings called Beyond Breaking the Glass, and the one amazon review on it so far says it is very user friendly. I have also seen Meeting at the Well recommended for engaged couples.

I have not read it yet, since I just found out about it, but apparently Robert Alter's translation of the Torah is very poetic.

You should take a look at r/judaism's book list as well.
