IAWTP. Well said. (although I'd settle for 'partner' - the Doctor's terrible with weddings, especially his own, so he probably missed it!)
People can ship Rose/Ten all they want, but it's getting out of hand when any female character who goes near the Doctor is accused of being (actual quote!) "an evil manipulative liar." I wasn't particularly taken by River, but I feel like people aren't giving her a chance at all. How are you supposed to enjoy a show if you perceive everyone as a 'threat' to your ship? So odd! Besides, I love the idea of this incredibly tragic and poignant love that begins and ends in the same episode but exists outside of it as well. It's very clever! And I'm generally ANTI-Doctoromance, but it's still intriguing and could be potentially done well.
Of course, my personal crack canon is that yes, she's his wife - BUT ALSO SHE'S FUTURE!JACK. Jack -> River -> ??? -> Boeface! I mean, it just seems OBVIOUS. ;)
