Do certain occasions supersede parenting time? | Step Talk

Does anyone have a CO that establishes precedence over the regular visitation schedule for special occasions such as weddings and funerals?

SO hasn't officially asked me yet, but we did a lot of wedding planning yesterday. We decided on a date, a church, a venue for the reception, a rough estimate of how big it would be, and how we would pay for it. We looked at rings online. I'm really excited, but of course I can't tell anyone yet as he hasn't asked me!!

Another thing we discussed is what we are going to do if BM does not allow SS to come as the date we picked lands on her weekend (as the schedule currently is). We decided there is nothing we can do about it. Since it's 2 years away, and BM is taking SO to court soon, I was wondering if it's possible to amend the CO to include verbiage such as "Weddings, graduation ceremonies, and funerals of SS's immediate relatives - parents, step-parents, grandparents, step-grandparents, siblings, half siblings, and step-siblings - supersedes parenting time. SO must relinquish parenting time from 8am to 8pm for such events occurring on BM's side of the family and BM must relinquish parenting time from 8am to 8pm for such events occurring on SO's side of the family. Should 2 occasions be on the same day, each parent will make every reasonable effort for SS to attend both events. If the events occur at exactly the same time on the same day, SO and BM will abide by the regular visitation schedule."

Thoughts?
