Basicall JJ got hit all the high points. It's your wedding so you get to do it the way you want. No one else gets input if you don't want them to have input. If you want to have it underwater, so be it.

HOWEVER, I do think that I need to point out that weddings are also big deals to a lot of people that aren't you. If you're going with the underwater theme and your mother doesn't dive, she has ever right to be pissed off. That's neither right nor wrong, but she gets to feel her own emotions. So your friend who tried to be a part of your big day may get those feelings hurt. If you're not going to have a traditional wedding party, then I suggest finding some other job for her or appointing her "honorary" maid of honor to deal with something so you don't have to. Maybe invite her along to help find a wedding dress. I assume that you'll invite some friends to your wedding but that no one other than you two and whoever's officiating will be up front. If you aren't inviting your closest friend, how close are you really?

Congratulations, by the way.
