Weddings are a common flashpoint for family drama. They're expensive, they're imbued with meaning, and they give everyone a chance to show off just how much of a family they are. They're one of the few public displays of family (aside from funerals and the occasional family barbecue). So it's no wonder that they often become the center of disputes between family members. It gets even more complicated when there's money involved, as there often is at weddings. Have you ever checked the price of a wedding gown recently?

Read on for the details, and be glad that this isn't your wedding.
