1 - 3 are all grammatically correct, but awkward. The passive should really not be used unless there's no other way. Better would be:
She put off her wedding.
She delayed her wedding.
She postponed her wedding.
4 and 5 are also OK, but better than the first three! They also, however, would be better phrased in the active voice.
Watch spelling ~~> despised
