If you had a no-kids wedding...

Wow, the OP is a sanctimonious pain in the ass. That is all.

nope and all the parents who had little ones at the time have said over and over how nice it was not having to deal with their kid at a wedding

FBFNFTM, it's nice to see you're back.

For those who don't get the reference, she used to have a screen name.

A wedding is for joining families together - kids, elderly in wheelchairs, mentally ill, etc. Crying during your vows - that's life - lots of stuff going on at once - that's the beauty of it. The best laid plans of mice and men. . .


15:43 here. Maybe you saw your wedding as joining two families but I didn't see mine that way. I saw it (and so does the government and church) as joining my husband and I together. It was all about celebrating our joining, not our respective familes. We also didn't invite my mentallly ill brother who would have created a spectacle. DH was especially glad not to have two of his nephews there. My South American ILs applauded our choice not to have kids there, especially those two nephews.

Now that I have kids I wonder why anyone in their right mind would want to bring their kids to an evening reception. I know that I wouldn't.

I always think about it this way...... If i were to just throw a night time party.....where I am going to pay for drinks, dinner, and/dancing for friends ...they would want to leave their kids at home .... So why not leave them at home for a wedding too?

No kids....there are some reasons to have a grown up event. And that is OK. To each his own....

This. I just took my son to a wedding this past weekend and my husband and I agreed that weddings are much more fun solo. Weddings are a great excuse for a parents night out!

No problem with no kid weddings.

Sorry, Op, but you're on your own this time.
