The wedding is a final point before being married, the end of a cycle of singleness and the end of another cycle, planning the big day.

I think it is also a problem of not being precise enough with the differences between the cards. Death, for example, the traditional endings card (although it can be more complex than that) has evolved into including the next step, that of regeneration.
Let's talk about the attributions of the World. We have the Hebrew letter Tau, which means "note" or "sign (symbol)," signature and similar. We have Saturn, which implies structure, formulation, perceived reality, outcomes and consequences. We also have Earth. All these put together would seem to imply not exactly an ending but more of a final step in the construction of something. It is a bit like the finalization of a contract; all the details are hammered out and the process of signing the contract is over, sure, but it is only now that you actually begin to do business. The whole process that led up to signing the contract becomes meaningless once it is signed, because the contract itself embodies all the important parts of it, in distilled form.
So, in a way, the World could be thought of as the lesson, the moral at the of Aesop's fables. You've gone through the whole journey, and that piece of wisdom is often the only souvenir you have, it is the last and final step and assimilation. It doesn't even have to be a lesson, it could be acting out on the "fallout" of the journey. In the example of the break-up, it could your first date after the recovery period.
