Weddings.
I'm getting married in 360 days (not that I'm counting), and already I've fallen out with my entire family regarding their thoughts on how I should conduct my wedding.

Tell us about your wedding-related disasters.

(Yes, it's been done, but not for quite a while).

We had a great wedding
For us, the secret was to not let anyone else get invovled in the planning. If the two of you do all of the planning,the wedding will be what you want instead of what someone else wants. Might temporarily hurt some feelings but they will get over it.

We're trying!
My mother in fact went to far as to say "I don't want to plan the wedding, it's far too stressful." And promptly started telling me what to do, how to do it, and oh my god I can't believe you're even thinking of doing that, what will your auntie think what do you mean you're not inviting her it doesn't matter that you haven't seen her in 15 years she's still faaamily...

I love her really.

It's your wedding.
Your big day. So do what the hell YOU want to do and don't invite anyone who doesn't like it.

Alternatively, do what we did and fuck off somewhere with a small contingent of people and then have a big party when you get back.

Seriously tempted.
Sadly, I am set on getting married in the parish church in my village, which rather puts a block on buggering off.

Yes
This is a good one. I can think of several stories for this already - expecially the one where the groom burnt his face badly doing lighted shots the night before the wedding...

And ignore them all - it's your wedding, do it as you want (they won't be allowed to object as it will "ruin your big day".

Pfft - silly groom!
Was he ok for the wedding, or did it have to be delayed until his arse was grafted onto his forehead?

Am most certainly ignoring them - especially the bits where they exclaim in horror about costs, and then try to get me to hire the tithe barn in the village, which is insanely expensive (and not terribly nice).
