Your wedding is an important event, why mess it up bringing up things that are better left in the past. There are probably numerous things that those who have said their nuptials have learned they should not have brought up prior to the wedding. Being someone who will be walking down the isle in less than a year I know a few things that I surely don't want to discuss before we say our "I do's."
The first thing that is taboo for any couple to discuss in their relationship, but especially before marriage, is the relations you've had with others in the past. It's the past, leave it in the past. All discussing your previous exploits does is cause jealousy, hurt feelings and you may hear something you don't want to hear. What happens if you find out your man had a little curiosity issue in college. Or, what if you find out your lady had a high school fling with your best friends. You'll never forget what you heard and it will always be a picture in the back of your mind when you are trying to be romantic.
The next thing you shouldn't discuss before your wedding is your dislike of any of your soon-to-be spouse's friends or family members. They are going to be your friends and family members very soon, so you just need to suck it up and learn to deal with them. Your significant other will not be happy to find out that you hate their mom, brother, favorite cousin or best friend. You'll just be rocking the boat, and if you don't want to be swimming to the shore alone you better just zip it and learn to like the people you find unlikeable.
Lastly, it is wise not to discuss any misgivings you may have about your significant other. These are things that should have been brought up before you decided to get married. Bringing up the fact that you don't get romanced enough or that you don't like when your soon-to-be spouse spends too much time with their friends is just going to cause a fight. Feelings will be hurt, words will be taken in the wrong context and you will regret opening your mouth. Again, this is something you'll just need to learn to live with, everyone has their own quirks. If you didn't feel like you could live with those quirks you should not have said yes when you were proposed to, or shouldn't have been proposing to this person.
Yes, it is important to get things out on the table when you plan to spend the rest of your life with someone. But, it is also important to be careful about what you talk about. Why cause any drama that will just turn out to be a dark cloud over your wedding day!
