Hello!
Traditionally the bride's name procedes the groom's, so you are spot on! This to me is a very beautiful way of putting it, the other option would be "the marriage of Jane and Mark".
Hey there!
Invitation wording depends on how formal you want the event to be.
You can definitely word it that way as there is nothing wrong with it. It is more toward the formal end.
If you look under the "Tools & Resources" page on my blog, it goes through different wording options.
If you have any further questions, feel free to contact me!

Hi,
Back in the day, it used to be quite formal but now I think it is really up to you and your partner. The most important thing is you create the wording that represents you both and it represents your voice. I had a bride that didn't care whether her guests wore shoes so she put that on the invitation. I have also had another bride who encouraged everyone to wear fancy dress. This invitation is representing your voices so listen to your inner voice.
Kind Regards

Hi Jane,
I think the wording of "marriage of Jane to Mark" is not at personal as "marriage of Jane and Mark"; that being said, we probably print the most of "marrriage of Jane & Mark". We still think that it's nice to observe the protocol of the lady's name before the man's name, until the marriage is complete; then you will see it noted as Mr and Mrs.
