"She couldn't think of a friend who didn't have at least one big blowout with her fiance, or mother, or mother-in law while planning her wedding."

Yes.

Quote:
blowout

noun

A violent release of confined energy, usually accompanied by a loud sound and shock waves: blast, blowup, burst, detonation, explosion, fulmination. See explosion/collapse.


So in the context of the sentence, she was referring a noisy argument.
