When we first got engaged a lot of the comments from people were back handed. They gave good lessons cloaked in negativity, and it was a bit hard to take. I did what any good engineer did would do; listen to the problem and attacked the root. For the ones that said spending on a wedding isn't important, we set a flexible budget and saved accordingly. For the warnings about people canceling, we had a list of people that we'd want to add. There's a lot more, but for every problem we worked out a solution or work around and it's been great.
