As for the bad juju, there was a LOT of sniping back and forth about the fact that the couple was planning on having a wedding without lots of family and friends around. Basically some folks thought that such an activity was an abomination and others thought that the wedding was between the couple getting married and that the nay-sayers should shut up. You can see how that would degenerate quickly.

My opinion on the topic comes from my background, which says that a marriage is a community event. And being a member of the community (both FT and NYC) I was really excited to participate. Plus, weddings are fun. I had a great time.
