Hey DonnieR32,
I hope the wedding plans are in going well.
Just remember to say these words and you'll be fine. "Yes dear! As you wish dear"
Flames in the pipes on lifting the throttle are normally due to unused fuel running through the pipes. This typically means your engine is running a little rich. Leaning it out might help to reduce the flame. Leaning it out too much however, could probably cause you more problems/damage than running a little rich. ie: burning valves, etc...
Other, more experienced members will no doubt chime in here with a more thorough overview.
Take care.
