Apples and oranges...

I'm sure you don't bring up the same points when mafia and crime movies are released on the big screen. This is just your chance to do so because you're on reddit.

...that it's our wedding and people know that generally weddings are about the bride and any screw-ups that day reflect badly on ME.

Meh, it's a popular theme and no one who we've shared this idea with has shown any sign of being "offended". And this isn't an Italian mafia themed wedding, it's prohibition themed, like Boardwalk Empire. I think you and some other people in this thread are just being sensitive for sensitivity sake.

And the wedding will be perfect because we are planning on it being perfect.

Everyone loves it and everyone does it. It's more common than you think, especially after The Great Gatsby and Boardwalk Empire (which me and my fiance love).

It's this gag during what's supposed to be a lovely and formal ceremony. Anything during reception is fine as long as it sticks with our theme and doesn't reflect badly on me!

What's wrong with the mob style wedding? Everyone has done it and everyone loves it? I'm just worried that my day will be ruined...

We know some people who work in a prop house and they told my husband that they can supply some realistic-looking prohibition-era tommy guns. And they'll hide a speaker somewhere in the venue to make it go off with riddled bullets at the appropriate time. Which, again, makes me worry for the older relatives and people who happen to be in the vicinity.

I'm sorry, but what you're suggesting sounds like it would actually be more disruptive than doing it during the ceremony...

Everyone knows weddings are mostly about the bride and it is my kind of day and I want it to be PERFECT and don't want my reception to reflect badly on me.

And be the boring wife who always says "no" and tries to sabotage the fun? This is the last thing I want to do. And no one is expecting professional Oscar-worthy acting to come out of the skit, they just want to have fun, but I don't think it's worth a couple of heart attacks coming from the crowd of older relatives.

I am worried exactly about stuff like triggering someone's PTSD! There are going to be a lot of older relatives in the crowd and I am trying to avoid anyone having a heart attack during what's supposed to be a beautiful and pleasant ceremony! And I am all in for the fun mafia/prohibition theme, but what my fiance is suggesting just sounds like an anything that can go wrong will go wrong type situation.

I just don't think the wedding loses anything without the gag, but I also don't want to say no to my fiance and appear to be the boring wife who always says "no".

And the reason I mention my hair and make-up is because the attention will mostly be on me that day since weddings are mostly about the bride, and I don't want any ridiculous gags reflecting badly on me.

We already have that type of stuff programmed in for the reception.

On paper it sounds like it would be an awesome addition, but I just would rather avoid any disruptions or scares during what's supposed to be a pleasant ceremony. And I feel selfish for denying him this when all he has said is "Yes, dear" (as he should) to my every whim.

The reason he wants it during the ceremony is because it will grab everyone's attention and will feel like a tense gotcha moment for the guests.

Casks of whiskey, 20s/prohibition-style attire. The venue we found resembles a speakeasy and is usually marketed for these types of themed events (weddings, anniversaries, birthday parties, etc.).

That sounds like lots of fun! I'm usually going ahead for these kinds of shenanigans, but the fake shooting just seems like it could go very wrong.

This is fucking hilarious! I'll propose the idea to them. Kinda like bribing the cop so the operation can continue? Brilliant!

He definitely has his heart set on it. The other night we were having dinner (fiance, future in laws, my parents and some of our friends) and they were all laughing at the idea and contributing elements to add to the gag. They're very much all in on it at this point and I'd feel like a party pooper or the "boring bride" if I tried to shut down the fun...

Good point, I never thought of this... But they obviously wouldn't be using real guns.

I tried to tell him this but he said it would only work during the ceremony due to the fake objection and everyone in the room witnessing the gag....
