My Wedding Stories Is Still a Disaster
This is the first wedding I have had in my game since the "fixes" have been in place. I was moderately encouraged when the Engagement Dinner went reasonably well. The Bach Party, not so much; some o...

I feel you there! I have at least 100Gbs of mods, and I still can't work around many of the glitches and bugs EA won't fix. Still trying to get a sim of mine to move into the 4th floor unit of a residential rental, and the Jewelry.py tracker LE error from Crystal Creations is going to haunt me for the rest of my life.
I wanted to chime in because I am a storyteller player who needs absolutely everything to be as I envision it, and I have two mod recommendations that may help resolve your issue.
The first is TitanNano's Control Any Sim mod, which is on ModTheSims. It lets you control any sim not in your household without having to actually add them to the household, and it even turn sims in your household into NPCs temporarily if you don't feel like controlling all 8 sims at the same time. Sims which are invited to a lot will still have lot visitor rules and won't act like household sims, but you can control them any way you please without MC Control or MC Self Command.
The other mod is Amellce's Steady Sit/Seat Any Sim mod, which will let you seat sims in chairs for up to 4 in-game hours without them standing up, moving or queueing any other interactions. It will override any of that nonsense if you just want them to sit during a wedding. It will be in the Actions button in the main pie menu, then it will give you the option to Control Sim or Don't Control Sim, if they're already selected.
What I would do, in your case, is invite over as many Sims to the wedding as you can, and whoever cannot be invited or won't come over, you could use MCCC in two ways: (if it's a residential lot where a mailbox is present: click the mailbox to bring up the MCCC menu, choose the NPC option, then Summon Sim, which will force that sim to visit). The other option, if a mailbox is not present: (use MCCC's teleport option to teleport multiple sims to any particular sim. After that, control them with Control Any Sim, then click any chair and choose "Seat Sims" or "Steady Sit" for each individual sim and chair.
I couldn't play the game without these invaluable mods anymore, honestly. They're needed to have a sane playthrough, especially in the case of formal events where even the most easily distracted human beings, including children, successfully sit in a chair for at least 30 minutes. I hope you find these mods useful and I wish you the best of luck with having a successful wedding!
Thank you, that's very sound advice. I managed to do a rollback and replay the wedding. (Had to, somehow, I managed to lose little Adrian for a second time. One must be so careful when you've changed the number of Sims allowed in a household. Not only that but to my horror, the Road to Fame mod suddenly wasn't in my Mods folder. Say, what?) My Rock Star (the groom) began his ascent to fame when he was in his mid-teens. No time, now, to have him go back and recreate the 8 albums, 2 songs or anything else saving without the mod in place removes. At any rate, having taken pictures with the first wedding, I am now able to combine them with the ones shot at Wedding Event, Take Two. Cue the music and go!
I am also a storyteller-player. Now, I have to write up the next two updates so I can share the events. Thanks again!
