Please don't clink the glass...

I am having a problem with my FMIL and my fiance. I have always hated the sound of clinking glasses during the reception to get the bride and groom to kiss. I have never participated in that tradition and never will. It is like nails on a chalkboard to me! So instead I wanted to buy kazoos and then attach a poem to let our guest know to use the kazoos instead. However, both my fiance and FMIL keep telling me that it is a worthless idea, a waste of money, people are going to do it anyway and I should get over myself, etc. I am a very simple and easy person but how do I stand up to them and explain that this is important to me because that sound drives me up the wall and I don't want to hear it on the best day of my life?

    I'm with you on the clinking of the glasses, I'm not doing that either. We are going to have our DJ say we are gonna do things a little different, instead of clinking glasses when you want the bride and groom to kiss, we are requesting that you come up here and sing a song with Texas in it (my fiance lives there), so like all my ex's live in Texas, San Antonio stroll, Yellow Rose of Texas, etc.. I printed a list with words to a bunch of songs that pertain to Texas. Good Luck..
