The US/Canadian anthems @ my wedding Q

I've decided that my wedding will be in Los Angeles (Dodger Stadium), and during the ceremony, I will have the American and Canadian anthems sung, as I mentioned above. This is not a dumb Q, bear in mind, but it is something I want at my wedding, when it comes up. Firstly, what should my guests do when the anthems are sung, and which one should be sung first, The Star-Spangled Banner or O Canada?

Three other things to keep in mind: I know some of you will say that the wedding is for the girl, and I am a guy, but I am NOT the kind of person who thinks it should be for the bride exclusively. I think it should be for BOTH the bride and groom equally; each one should have an equal say in planning things. Secondly, I wanted the Canadian anthem sung as a show of love for Canada as a whole, and lastly, because my wedding will be @ a sports stadium, doing that is obligatory at a venue like that.
 
The tradition is that the home team's anthem is played last.

And people stand. No need to dance or anything like that.
 
^ So, in other words, as my wedding will be @ Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles (reasoning for the anthems being sung is that it's a sports venue, and I want that kind of feel for my wedding), the order is O Canada, then the Star Spangled Banner.
