Weddings bring people together in a joyous occasion, but they also increase the potential for conflict and uncomfortable situations. If your daughter decided to have a big wedding, and there have been issues in the past with family members or friends, you'll need to be prepared to handle issues calmly and with dignity. You may be forced to reckon with the past — or perhaps a less-than-pleasant set of current circumstances. Former husbands, relatives you thought were long gone, and step-relations will be popping up all over the place. You'll be happy to see some of them, no doubt… but what do you do with the others?
