Yeah, that irked me a lot when I saw the episode. My favorite moment from the episode was Steven's self-fusion

That bit was animated by Jaaaaames Baxter(the animator and also the horse).

I remember seeing a rumor somewhere that the execs gave Rebecca Sugar an ultimatum over the wedding(because, unfortunately, two women getting married is still considered controversial in a lot of places CN airs its shows): if she didn't cut it, they wouldn't renew the show, so they had to resolve the show in what was left of the then-current episode order.
You just have to love how devilishly cheeky it was that she switched the gender-coding on Ruby and Sapphire for the actual wedding scene, regardless.

In any case, the ending definitely feels rushed, and the series never quite recovers from it.
