[quote=Anonymous]OP, don't be a victim.  The thing is, if you go by yourself, without kids, everyone in your family will pout for a day and then will forget about it. I swear to God. Yes they will. You see, no one cares as much as we think they would.

You don't have to make a big fight about it. It can only become a fight or an argument if you argue or try to prove your point.  Don't do it. You are an adult.  Announce that this is what you're doing, and that's the end of it.  Don't negotiate or explain.  This is what works for you. No one can make you do anything you don't want to do.  Your family isn't going to divorce you.

I think if you go with your kids, you'll spend the whole time catering to their needs and won't have anywhere as much fun as one can expect at a wedding. I would go by myself and have a grand time.  People will get over it. Yes they will. Your needs are important and there is nothing wrong with doing what is right FOR YOU.  Yes, it's the bride's day. What this means is that the bride gets to do what SHE wants.  She does NOT get other people to behave the way she wants. That's ridiculous. [/quote]
