Wedding is a step wise process. The priest chants different hymns and mantras and the different rituals happen accordingly. It is basically a puja and it has to happen according to some pre-established protocol.
Saat phere or Saptapadi is one of the steps in the wedding rituals and all the saat phere has to happen in one single go. Only then the priest declares that the wedding is solemnized. Until then, the wedding is incomplete and you are officially unmarried, no matter how many pre-wedding rituals you perform.
