How do you like to do weddings in your game?

Most of the time I play I have wedding events. Usually I won’t invite a lot of sims between 5-8, I add all of the guests, bride and groom to a group and with this I can control the flow of the party at least a little. I never had a problem with sims not sitting or other popular problems others seems to experience frequently during weddings. Maybe it’s because of the small number of guests or maybe the venue is also important? I prefer smaller lots that won’t lag and I make sure no routing issue will occur before the party. So yeah, I enjoy the wedding parties quite a lot. But when story requires I’m open to elope option. I once played a mermaid and she got along with another merman, they felt sort of like children of nature, lol, so it didn’t fit them to throw normal wedding party. I waited till night and let them get married on the beach without anyone around. I was blown away how special it felt, but their story was such and it is not for all my sims.

In order for me to attempt a wedding based on your template, most of their respective families would be left out. There are five Cantrell siblings and the Goldens had triplets. Who do you leave out? The parents? The siblings and their spouses? I really like your idea, but groups or even Clubs don't allow for enough space to make this work in my game. I commend your thinking, however. I know early on there was a way for the active bride or groom to be able to call their side of the family, at least, to watch the wedding. I've not seen this interaction in quite some time. :'(
