Some of the customs are not all anti islamic persay and some are!! In your situation try to limit the haram as much as possible.
I have seen even relegious brother cowering to parents emotional black mail!!
As for seperation, if you can't enforce physical barriar then atleast keep it segrgrated. My parents weren't happy about many things but beng stubborn did the job. The main thing is marriage is not a funeral and is a happy occasion for both families so do your best to limit haram .
Do not go overboard with islamic thing. There is appropriate place for these things. Perhaps a 5 minutes reminder in english about virtues of marriage.
Allahualam

InshAllah that is what my intention is... to limit the haram as much as possible. may Allah have mercy on us. ameen

if you don't mind sharing.... which things did you limit and took a stand against? Overall, did you feel you had an 'islamic' wedding? Was it completely segregated with barrier? Did the couple sit on the stage together or in separate halls/rooms?

you mentioned that not all the customs are anti Islamic... please elaborate on which ones are totally unacceptable (i.e. haram/sinful)?

I'm just trying to get good ideas iA.
