Generally, I heard that breed is hard to potty train. I've read a lot of posts by people who have trouble with it, well, sometimes I guess we need to be a little more flexible to the limitations of those small dogs... I never thought I'd have a dog that potties inside (neither has my husband

) but as we both work, that turned out to be the only way to go... Pepper would go in his crate as a puppy, so I bent my rules and got an xpen. He has been consistent about going on his pee pad, he had a few acidents around 6-7 months of age but has been accident-free for about 5 months now... He just started pottying outside too, I never insisted on that, he kinda figured it out on his own but I know he'll always need a pee pad. My house is very clean, keeping it that way takes more work now than it did before having Pepper but I don't mind... If I was in your situation though, fighting over the dog and stressed about the wedding preparations, I'd consider if the breed is the right one for me.
