Vermont is a popular place to win married,but not all of the people who live next to its rural wedding venues are celebrating. The special day isn't so special when it's almost every Friday, Saturday and Sunday from spring to late plunge. Conflicts with neighbors bear spilled into municipal meetings — and courts.
