There are times when we get so married to a concept that we forget about the practicality, means of execution, or how it will affect other people. This bride wants to honor her blind parents with a wedding in total darkness. For the whole wedding. And at first pass, that's a sweet thing to want to do. And then you remember that having 200 wedding guests who have not lived their lives navigating total darkness try and make up for it in one evening might not be the most stellar plan.

It's one of those things that is again, very cool in theory. But when you find yourself talking with the wedding planner about what kind of night vision goggles your caterers need to wear so that they don't spill food on your glowstick-covered father-in-law, it's time to take a step back (hopefully without bumping into a lost wedding guest) and think about if there is a way to honor your parents in a way that doesn't turn your entire event into a rave-like, unnavigable tripping hazard full of scared old people.

For some fun wedding stories, here are the most terrifically trashy wedding people attended.
