ODD had some grand ideas for the location of the ceremony. It's
a beautiful spot at the end of a decent hiking trail in a state
park with a waterfall as the backdrop.
Sure, sweetie. You can have it there. But you can't have your
great-grandmother, either grandfather and possible either
grandmother in attendance.
She decided on the lodge at the state park catered by their
staff. Even MIL (who isn't a fan of ODD or myself) says it was
the best wedding of all her grandchildren and step
grandchildren.

That reminds me of a wedding we witnessed last year. We weren't
invited, we just witnessed it!
We were going for a birthday picnic at a provincial campground.
There was one area with a large fire pit, and a kitchen sort of
building (that we couldn't use because of weird political
reasons), and a bridge over a creek, with a large field area
bordered by trees. Very nice - we got there early, and snagged
it, because there were about 40 of us, and it was first come,
first served (same weird politics - something to do with
staffing). Along the way in, we saw signs along the road about
someone's wedding, and we all kind of went - oh oh, hope they
didn't take the spot we wanted!
Some of our party arrived early, around 10 or so. Sure enough an
hour or so after we'd been there, some of the wedding party
comes rolling up to set up, and of course they see us there. I
won't bore you with all the details, but they didn't put up a
fuss thankfully, and they relocated about 100 yards away, in
front of the bridge, which actually worked kind of well for
them. Not so well for the hikers that had to cross the creek
through the water, but the hikers were good sports about it.
I do not know why the wedding party first chose a spot they
couldn't book, and knowing they couldn't book it why they didn't
send someone out at like 9:00 am to grab the spot. The
setter-uppers did come about an hour or two before the wedding,
but that was around noon, and really on a nice summer Saturday
they didn't expect anyone else might want that spot? I couldn't
believe they'd go to all that trouble of going out there without
ensuring their location since it's about an hour's drive from
any town, about 90 minutes from the big city, and they all had
to drive back to where ever for the reception. They weren't
sweet young things either, probably in their thirties.

Some people always expect things to work in their favor. Others
(like me) always approach something like organizing a wedding
wondering "and then what unexpected thing will go wrong?"

But it did work out because they were apparently willing to
adjust.

Why would a registry be password-protected?

Sadly I agree. I can see people thinking how fun! Click that the
item has been purchased, click, click, click then the bridal
couple receives nothing off of the registry.

My husband and I witnessed the "processional" of a wedding in
Glacier NP. The bridal couple, officiant, maid of honor and best
man were hiking back to "their spot." It was 32 degrees F and
spitting freezing rain, the maid of honor had an umbrella over
the bride's head and the best man looked pi$$ed. After we passed
them, I looked at my DH and said, "Maybe I should tell them that
they're getting married in the shadow of "Bad Marriage
Mountain." ;D

I got married almost two decades ago, but at the time, the only
way to something to disappear from the (online) registry was if
you actually bought it.

Must depend on the store. I got married over 20 years ago and
you could mark things as purchased on my registry. Because, in
spite of what the registry store would like, not every person is
going to buy things there.
