I share a similar background with your in-laws and would feel very comfortable at your wedding. I attended a similar wedding this summer. One of my friends from college is a 25-year-old PhD candidate in neuro-biology and has no use for religion. His wife, raised a Mormon, is also of the agnostic/aethiest persuasion. Her family members are devout, practicing Mormons, and I am a practicing Protestant, and I think we all enjoyed the ceremony, which was conducted in an artist's park near a museum in Indianapolis. One of the groomsmen read a piece from the New Testament, but another read a piece from Nietzche. The only reason I would have felt uncomfortable in that situation, or yours, is if anti-religious 'protest' statements were included (i.e. 'we all know that Jesus is a myth and that's why we're here today'). As a Christian, I was raised to respect the Jewish religion as the basis for my own. I'd say that your attitude is very welcoming and will make for a great ceremony. My only complaint was that they charged an arm and a leg for alcohol at the wedding to appease the bride's people (ha ha). I think that had more to do with age than religion. After all, one of Jesus' first miracles was to turn water into wine AT A WEDDING! That's just my thought, though, and you're welcome to ignore it - just as the bride's family did.
