Surviving friendly fire - Handling rivals at the wedding

There is a reason why other people decides to elope instead of doing the honourable thing, wed! The world over fable-like-stories of weddings gone wrong are plenty. Issues range from, divorced parents clashing at the wedding, in-laws jarring over social or financial standing of each other, the famous ‘rich boy and poor girl’ or vice versa tales, or the showy uncle John who yells nastier things here and there, even interrupting the marriage officer.
Quizzed on what makes a wedding the best day, a friend of mine whose parents are divorced remarked, “Joined together in holy matrimony before your loved ones in one venue.” But the question is, ‘how to accommodate your loved ones who are rivals?

A wedding is a day that two people declare their endless love, their commitments to one another, in the presence and witness of their loved ones. Theyget the blessing from the church and the public wishes them well.But enter divorced parents, a step parent versus an actual parent; this is a time bomb ready to explode at the slightest instigation. This is the point when you think army generals are lucky because at least they don’t get to soothe the selfish ego of a sideshow. How then does one avoid a cold war, drama queens or sideshows which can blight their wedding?
Define roles
One way of making sure you don’t have Armageddon at your wedding is by defining roles that people play. This is especially true in respect of a situation such as when the bride opts to be walked down the aisle by an actual or step parent where both parties are present. Giving both parties defined and agreed roles could help diffuses tensions
Be firm
When you anticipate trouble, it is better to have contingency plans.Engage both parties separately before the wedding day to iron out their differences. If this failsDisclose anticipated challenges to an influential person and task him to deal with the possible scenarios diligently.

Don’t invite them
Another choice is simply not inviting the potential trouble-makers and having security at the wedding. This may not be everybody choice but who want their day to be reminiscent of a battlefield.
But first and foremost, the best solution is for the wedding couple to exercise highest level of dexterity to all the would-be rivals. Closeness and showing respect to either parties may play the magic. The in-laws who feltinsulted, the mother who dreaded seeing her ex-husband with his much younger wife, and tetes(aunt) who thought their effort was not recognized can act mature with tact and mindfulness of the couple.

How much of your f dirty linen would you share to your spouse?

Spouses whose secrets were revealed during the course of the marriage can better testify how little leaven my ruin marital bliss.

Most couples, brides in particular, find themselves in a dilemma of whether they should disclose their past life to their spouses or not.
But talking about honesty, how much information do couples?
Most people have had past relationships and experiences that may have a bearing in their future marital life. Some brides may have had several boyfriends and sexual experiences before marriage.
However the dilemma is: Are they compelled to reveal this to their husband? If they do, would they and their husband feel comfortable after the revelation? If they don’t, what if the husband/wife discovered it from other circles, what will he feel?

All things being equal, it is safe and helpful to know and consider the orientation and preferences of your partner before things become more serious. Does he prefer a virgin woman over someone with experience? Is virginity important in his culture or religion?
Deceit is dangerous. Deceit is when one pretend to be someone they are not. Perhaps they lead their spouses to believe that they are a complete innocent damsel but then one day he/she discovers that they are not.
Another area of concerns involves family secrets. How much of your family’s dirty linen would you share to your spouse?
After the wedding, you learn more about your spouse. You also learn more about each other’s family. Some facts about your family are given and cannot be kept secret; e.g. your parents are divorced or that they have serious problems with money management. Some things will simply unfold to your spouse over time no matter how one try to hide them.
But what about some dark secrets about your family which telling your spouse would cost his respect for them? Would you tell him that your mom once had an affair which your dad never found out? Would you tell him that your dad once tried to sexually abuse you?
How about if you find out that your husband keeps some family facts and affairs from you maybe because his mom advised him to or because he wants to protect his family’s image, would you take it against him? Would you see it as lack of trust?
