I don't think her choosing not to do a double wedding is what jeopardized her friendship, I think it was the fact that both of them were so stubborn that neither one would change their date/venue. I don't know many women who would be willing to share their wedding day with another bride. I guess to a guy it doesn't make sense, but most women imagine their weddings since they're little girls. They want all eyes on them and their new husband, they want the flowers, dresses, music, food, etc that they've dreamed of, they don't want to worry about coordinating it all with another bride, even if the other bride is her best friend/sister/cousin/etc.
I agree with you that women should not be excused for being complete psychos while planning their weddings. These women had no logic, otherwise one would've changed her date/venue. The most important part of a wedding day is that you'll be married to the person you love, the rest is just decoration, most brides don't realize or care about that though.
I know many people who have gone through the wedding planning process and weren't in love with their fiance. Some broke it off before the wedding, others got divorced down the line, it's very common. A lot of people stay in relationships without love because they've been in them for so long and it's comfortable/they don't know anything else. I'd guess there's a huge percentage of women who say yes to the ring and start planning the wedding without giving a thought to their marriage, and that's sad. Watch any TLC show and you see how little a lot of the brides care about their fiances or marriages--it's all about the wedding.
Honestly, I don't think Emma was being a stubborn child for not wanting a double wedding, like I said, most women alive wouldn't go for that. However she, and Liv, were stubborn children for not finding a compromise like finding new dates/venues/booking for the opening in 3 years/etc. But it's a movie, had they used their heads it would've been 15 mins long!
