Is there any common structure to a Protestant wedding?

Uh yeah, bruh

Ends with a kiss followed by a prohibition on dancing

It's kind of hit or miss in terms of a message or tradition as you say. I'm Methodist and have been to some with communion for example. Methodists have a catholic background, though.

Yeah, the couple pledge to honor and respect each other and to really really really really really hate the Pope until death do they part.

There’s no standard for the shotguns, if that’s what you mean.

The old saying is that you want a Baptist wedding and a Catholic reception.

And during the marriage, you'll find a woman appreciates a good Catlick more.

There are dozens of Protestant denominations. The Anglican Church has a very well defined liturgy for the rite of marriage. Others may not. It depends.

No idea. I always claim to have explosive diarrhea to avoid weddings.

The weddings I perform are very deliberate in form, process. Presbyterian

Been to quite a protestant weddings (most of them in Baptist churches)

Technically Baptists are not exactly Protestant, in the Reformation based sense. Emerging directly from the Catholic Church, Presbyterians, Lutherans, Reformed churches are Protestant, and Anglicans, Episcopalians, Methodists, Wesleyans are subsets, emerging slightly later. Baptists emerged from a Separatist movement, that was more congregational in nature. Over the centuries there has been blending and re-organizing and re-defining, to the extent that in the U.S. the Word Protestant is a catch-all term for all non-Roman Catholic Christians, but now it is a term that has been chopped off from its root of original meaning - the protesting against certain practices of the Roman Catholic hierarchy in the 16th century, with a strong call for reforming the same.

To the original question on wedding liturgies, the closer you come to churches and denominations that emerged out of the Reformation, the more you will find a fairly consistent structure to a wedding liturgy.

Oh, the word liturgy is a word that describes the form or pattern or structure used in putting together a church service of worship, which is what a wedding service is understood to be.
