Wedding Photography Styles - What do they actually mean?

Documentary, Candid, Editorial, etc. Do you know what you're asking/looking for? We hear these wedding photography style terms thrown around a lot, but do you actually know what they mean? Let's find out!
Disclaimer: my definitions aren't the end-all-be-all, but after doing some research myself, this is the general consensus. It's important to look through the portfolios of whatever photog you want to hire to make sure their style is what you want.
