My experience with My Wedding Stories is that the actual wedding ceremony and the reception is a real struggle--and that's with mods to help make it go more smoothly. The wedding ceremonies did succeed to a point, but they were not fun for me to do. After a few tries, I think I've decided to only do private weddings or elopements from now on. But I do like the pre-wedding events. I've had better luck with those. I might do a family get-together or other party (official or nonofficial) and leave it at that. Just hold a wedding arch ceremony for the couple only. Sims can't seem to get with the program! ?
One of my couples (werewolves) had a special proposal party.

But the wedding itself was hit and miss. The couple exchanged vows in the aisle instead of under the arch and nobody was watching. At least the guests were in their seats at the time.

My last official wedding was chaos--everyone wandered around and chatted.

Thankfully, the ceremony itself was successful.

But guests pretty much ignored the cake-cutting, toasts, and dancing.
