[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wish people would get over themselves and invite kids to their weddings. The past 2 weddings we’ve been invited to are kid-free, both family - DH’s cousin and sister. We have to travel for both of them. We decided to just send DH to his cousin’s, and we will suck it up for his sister’s and have my parents watch our 9, 6 & 3 year old. I know “it’s their wedding they can do whatever they want” but I don’t get it - no ring bearer or flower girls, no cute kids on the dance floor. Weddings are supposed to be about family coming together. Okay. Rant over.[/quote]

OK, so 9 pages later the OP talks about eloping because she doesn't like being the center of attention. Doesn't that mean that OP had a kid free wedding with no ring bearer or flower girls or cute kids on the dance floor? I am reasonably certain that eloping, and not having a bigger wedding, means that the family did not come together.

[b]So why exactly is OP upset? [/b]Because someone else decided that they wanted to have a kid free wedding but is having a kid free party by having a reception without kids and not just skipping the entire wedding/reception. [/quote]

Because no one will get to admire how adorable and cute her kids are, as she’s mentioned in two posts. Because someone else (the wedding couple) will get to be the centre of attention, and OP is uncomfortable with that concept.

I also find it ironic that OP didn’t want ANY family to celebrate her day, but is upset that a single demographic is being left out of another wedding. But it’s really all about her, right? [/quote]
