Now my question for those of you who have done weddings, what are the best and most important tips. Other than, "It's all about the dress". Please tell me there are some magic guidelines to follow so I don't make some disastrous mistake that will haunt me forever. After all it is my son's wedding. Help!
First - Don't do it. Reason: It's a golden opportunity to start a very distasteful relationship with your daughter-in-law if she is not pleased. It's HER wedding... not really your son's. Grooms are mainly tag-alongs.
Second: Unless you have VERY understanding future in-laws - not just your daughter-in-law - and they give you the impression they really don't care if you miss an event, or forget to include a special relative in the group shots, or whatever... please believe me - They do care! Refer to reason #1
