[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If it is a family wedding I want to take my kids so they can see family.  My cousin didn’t and kids wedding.  I had a severely disabled child.  I was excited to see family but they said no way!  Not even to the hotel.  I’d get my own sister (I’d have to fly them in because of special care).  They said not kids around anywhere.  It was so rude.  It feels like a purposeful exclusion.

I decided hotel was a public space.  We didn’t use block.  Brought sitter.  Saw everyone who cared - many came to our room to see child or went on long walks with us outside of wedding stuff.  It was just one of those times where everyone was together and we so wanted to see everyone.

My sister brought her kids too and stayed with our sitter.  Bride and groom never saw our kids.  They now have three of their own and I am sure would feel totally different. So just shows lack of empathy.

We used to be close and 20 years later still don’t talk.  It is so dumb.

So yes, feelings can get hurt.

For friends that is totally different.  I don’t take kids to friends weddings.

That wasn’t a “family wedding” as there is no such thing. You should have declined the invitation. Then, you and your sister could have planned, organized and paid for a family reunion, as that was what you wanted and expected and felt entitled to, on the dime and the labor of the bride and groom.
