I don't know what stage your are up to in the filing process, but you may need birth certificates if you don't already have them. Bank records or any other documents you may need to prove domicile (lease or mortgage info, employment info, etc.).

Good luck!

Ah ok. We had a relative who was a joint sponsor. All we needed from the relative were the past 2 year's tax returns (copies were ok for us) and the proper form, completely filled out (I think it was the I-864 in our case). So if you plan on having a joint sponsor you may want to find the right form and get them to fill it out (they'll need to refer to their tax return to fill it out correctly) and sign it while you're in the states to save time. I'd check online to with the consulate's website in your country to make sure you are using the right form and that your sponsor meets all requirements.

You can only DCF in Spain if you reside there legally for at least 6 months. Since you are coming back to the US after your wedding; you cannot DCF. Have you double checked this?

It sounds like the OP currently lives in Spain and is just going home to the US for a couple days. It doesn't have to be a continuous six months without trips home. :) (I don't think that's what you said, just wanted to make it clear)
