About-to-Fail Weddings/Poorly Planned?

Please stop trying to "help" this friend. She has told you no. She has planned what she'd like for her big day. Don't suggest she change things that are only a few weeks away because you don't like the wedding she has planned for herself - all that does is send the message that you don't like her wedding -which no one wants to hear from a dear friend right before their big day.

You honestly sound a little much. You're jittery for her big day? You advised her to switch to a courthouse ceremony? Really?

Everyone has different ideas on what they want for their wedding and different styles. I had a small, pretty informal wedding. My sister is planning a big, very formal wedding. There are parts of her wedding that I think are pretty bad, but that's her style, not mine. And it's her wedding, so her opinion is the one that counts, as long as it isn't something that negatively impacts others. And I can offer my advice, opinion, or assistance, but the choices are ultimately up to her. If she declines my help or advice, that's her choice to do so. And just because it isn't what I would choose (in a million years), that doesn't mean it can't work and be a great wedding for her.
