For any place where variables are displayed in the ingest dialog, expand them to show what will actually be used, or if space is a concern, use a mouseover to show the expanded text.



I think "12-Joe and Shirley Wedding" would be more helpful in the Primary Destination Path description than "{month0}-{jobname}"

That's a great suggestion. However, in general, we can't show you what the variables will resolve to until after the image has been ingested. We don't know what they'll be. You can see the actual values for ingested images in the Metadata (IPTC) Info box by holding down the Option key on Macs and selecting EVAL.
