Is the Prophet's privacy, peace and blessings be upon him, in entering and sitting with his bride while women were around them, an act exclusive to him or a Sunnah that can be emulated with controls?

The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, is incomparable to anyone else concerning his gatherings with women, looking at them, and being in seclusion with them, due to his infallibility. Some scholars have gone so far as to say that it was among his unique characteristics, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, to be permitted to seclude himself with a non-mahram woman and look at her, citing the hadith of Umm Haram bint Milhan as proof. However, the Prophet’s gathering with women at a wedding does not serve as evidence for the permissibility of unlawful mixing in weddings.
