[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is surprising to me are the number of people who apparently think fancy hotel black tie gala weddings are actually fun instead of something to be endured because you like your family and friends. I find them so boring! [/quote]

Me too! X1000 when it’s a destination.  Forgive me for not wanting you to dictate where I spend my one vacation per year. [/quote]

I think this may be the issue.  Miss Manners frequently points out that the bride and groom are not the government.  They do not have the power to obligate people to attend their weddings or send them gifts merely by issuing an invitation.  If you prefer not to have children at your wedding, fine.  You do not get to dictate that people spend thousands on airfare, weekend sitters, and hotel rooms.  [/quote]

Who said they did?  A wedding invitation isn't a summons.  If you don't want to go, don't go.  The problem is that people who won't go simply because their kids weren't invited and they feel offended by that.  Those people need to get over themselves since the wedding is not remotely about them.[/quote]
