Groom not staying at wedding

So the first time he leaves is for work, I figured it was my error cause I forgot to give him a vacation day. So I tell him to leave work, but instead of coming back to the wedding he goes home and refuses to come to the wedding! So that one I had to cancel and redo, than when I try again they do actually get married but as soon as the vows are done he RUNS home I try to x out the prompt that randomly came up to make him run, but he still goes! He RUNS home to  'TIDY up'??  and refuses to come back!!! I load the house to manually go get him and when I get back the wedding is over!! So I'm unable to do the wedding, drinks or visit with guests because he FREAKING leaves!! It was so frustrating! If you're getting married the groom and bride should be locked onto that location until it's over! On a date if one tries to leave it prompts a message asking if your sure you want to end the date. Should be the same thing with a wedding! I can't get the achievements if the game doesn't even let me keep my Sims there!

    Are you using and mods in your game ? Is the groom in your active family or an NPC ? If he's in your family, can't you keep him selected the whole time to not have that happen ?

    I am not using any mods and yes he is in my family and I am playing him. I clicked on him to stop him from running, but his action said "share cake" which is where my bride was. Than he's gone, and it says he's Tiding up..... super frustrating.

    Sounds like a super weird error.

    Are you having the wedding at your lot or another one ?

    It really is... was also frustrating. I got them married at the local park so a different lot.

    Could you try what happens if you do it on your home lot ?

    I tried it on a home lot. She had the perfect venue. I could not get both people in the same room at the wedding. I had an arch in the garden. I clicked on the arch, and finally, after several tries, get married popped up. The dude finally showed up. Forget trying to get all the guests in to sit down. I had to keep clicking get married, but then he leaves and I never see him again. So, I had to go to manage world and not save it. It was a disaster I had literally spent hours hanging lights in the garden, arranging a piano, setting tables, hiring caterers, entertainment, the works, but I can't get them to actually get married. Later, I tried it again without people. I couldn't get them to just GO TO THE GARDEN. She went, but he wouldn't. All they wanted to do was get on the computer. So, they got married in her office. She was wearing a swimsuit because she'd just swam across the fountain in the garden. He had some his summer outfit complete with headphones. It was a moment to try to forget. It's so frustrating. My first marriage was spontaneous. They "eloped" and got married on the porch. I'd like to actually be able to have a wedding for a change. She had the perfect place, but it was a complete waste of my time and effort. But it seems like the game is geared AGAINST couples having weddings.
