It’s become almost trendy to list a charitable organization among your list of wedding registries, so that guests may donate to the charity of your choice as a wedding gift. But what about when the bride and groom opt to forego a wedding detail or tradition to give that money to a good cause? Certainly, it’s never bad to give to charity. But Sandy says to think twice about how you go about announcing, and taking credit, for it.

Sandy tells one of her all-time favorite true stories about the time when two Brazilian Mastiffs crashed a wedding ceremony at a Caribbean villa. It’s hilarious now, but it wasn’t funny at the time. But it’s a perfect example of how things can go wrong that literally nobody has any control.

No parent at their child’s wedding reception should take their clothes off. If your dad has a tendency to get naked when he’s drunk, you need to assign somebody to babysit him at your wedding. It’s not cute, it’s not funny. It won’t make for a memorable wedding in a good way. The staff shouldn’t be subjected to your dad’s nakedness, even if you’re okay with your friends seeing your pops in his altogether. Sandy tells the true stories of two occasions when the Father of the Bride got stark naked and passed out in the middle of a wedding.

Sandy tells the story of a bride and groom who asked her to plan a St. Patrick’s Day wedding theme for their Caribbean destination wedding on the actual holiday. The flowers were green, the beer was green, the wedding cake was made of Guinness beer, and an actual leprechaun greeted wedding guests as they arrived at cocktails.

Here's a link to the blog Sandy wrote for the HuffPost shortly after the wedding she describes in this podcast.
