While everyone should be married in a place that makes them happy, can you really imagine being married in a... mall? It sure would make registering for gifts convenient, but can you imagine running into that long lost friend that you "forgot" to invite? Or an ex-boyfriend who's picking up new boxers at Gap? Or your boss?
