I don't think this is evidence for or against that, though.

The wedding attendees used their "personal choice" to attend the wedding and get sick. But we don't know how they transmitted it to people once they left. Were the people they infected taking precautions? Or were they also using "personal choice" not to?

Precautions are not perfect. Just because your personal choice is to wear a mask does not mean you are 100% immune from the flocks of people that choose not to. As the numbers of infected grows so too will your chances of being infected, even if you take precautions.
