Judging on current practice, the bride and groom exchanged corn mush (sorry, it's not a 'maize pudding') between themselves and then shared it with the rest of the families. The corn mush is usually in a Navajo wedding basket (kinda redundant, I know) and either a nataani or even the bride's father may do the ceremony. Then the families will provide wedding advice ad naseum for several hours like they did with my wife and I.
Google Changing Woman and Navajo wedding to see what comes up.

This is tradition of the navajo weddings but I dont know if it were including in the first.
Navajo Traditions
White corn meal symbolizes the male and yellow the female. The Navajo combine the two meals into a corn mush and put it into a wedding basket before the traditional ceremony.
The Navajo bride was an equal partner to her husband. The couple would share the maize pudding during the ceremony to symbolize the marriage bond.

The bride said, "How"
and her husband winked and said, "Don't worry, I'll teach you."
